I mentioned the film "Beautiful Losers," which is being sponsored by Nike, opened this weekend in New York, San Francisco and L.A. in last week's Essentials. Ypulse reader (and former contributing editor) Jennifer Waits sent me an email flyer about the Beautiful Losers "Make Something" workshops happening at "pop-up" locations in each of these cities. I love this idea as a way to both promote the film and spread the DIY ethos that it celebrates. The workshops feature the artists from the film and creators from the surrounding cultures and are for youth — they will focus on painting, photography, toy design, filmmaking, tattoos and zines. They're looking for young people to join them (and reaching out to public school art programs) at the following locations:

New York City August 8-23
255 Elizabeth Street between Prince and Houston

Los Angeles August 14 - October 30
The Montalban, 1615 North Vine/Hollywood

San Francisco August 16 - September 21
VASF, 1485 Haight St.

The SF workshops begin this weekend on the 16th. You can email Meghan Edwards if you know of Bay Area youth who might want to attend. I couldn't find a workshop schedule on the the "Beautiful Losers" site, but try calling the galleries or contacting the film's PR folks for more info.
