Sara Jessica Parker to produce art-world Runway

Sara Jessica Parker Pretty Matches is teaming with reality factory Magical Elves to create a "Project Runway"-type show for the art world.

Let's say you put artists together for 90 hours of painting...
Years ago I participated in a marathon of painting in a Brazilian shopping mall.
We were creating art in public eyes, and eating, sleeping in a empty store at the mall, ...together for 90 hours.
People was there watching every movement of the brushes, how artists mix paint, waiting to see what color will comes next, and very anxious for the final artwork.

I think it's a great opportunity to show people how art is created. Sure I'd love to be part of that. regiaart at gmail dot com
