To that end, the Orange County Center for Contemporary Arts (OCCCA) will play host to an open meeting about the girls camp on Saturday evening. The event will feature music, art and information about how to get involved in the project.
“Consider it our grand opening party,” says volunteer coordinator Candace Hansen.

Up until recently, organizers were still looking for potential venues for the
week-long intensive project, but that piece of puzzle has been found.
“We got a space!” Hansen says excitedly noting the paperwork had
just been signed. The OC Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls will take place at
the Shoreline Baptist Church in Fountain Valley.
At the event to help them get there, Two Piece Extra Spicy, formed out of the Los Angeles Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, will perform alongside ¡Aparato! and DJ Michelle. The Weekly's very own Exene Cervenka is set to exhibit artwork as well as other local artists such as Darla Diggs and Stephanie Riggs.
But the evening is not all about entertainment. “There
will be a presentation about the program, information on how to get
involved, and interactive tables along with the artists and performers,” Hansen adds.
Help the bands and female musicians of the future grace the pages of an OC Weekly Locals Only feature or Heard Mentality Blog post and GO, GO, GO!
¡Aparato!, Two Piece Extra Spicy, and DJ Michelle perform at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Arts, 117 N Sycamore St, Santa Ana, 92701. Sat., 6:30 – 11 p.m. All Ages. $5 suggested donation.
