Uluwatu Surf Villas and Rip Curl Present: Artist Of The Search Exhibition and Uluwatu Fundraiser


July 12, 2012


Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia – Uluwatu Surf Villas and Rip Curl will host an evening of ocean-inspired art, music and film above the cliffs of Uluwatu on the evening of Saturday, July 21st to benefit local environmental organization Eco Surf Rescue Uluwatu.


Original artwork by Rip Curl's Artist of the Search, Kevin Walsh, will be on exhibit and available for auction. Don't miss this opportunity to take home an exclusive hand-made piece by one of the surfing world's most dynamic young artists.


Come join surfing luminaries and the surfers in this year's Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang Invitational as we gather for what will undoubtedly be the highlight of the opening week of the Rip Curl Cup waiting period. The evening will feature live music from Andy Six String, catered food, and full bar service. The program will also include the Asia premiere of Taylor Steele's latest film, “Here & Now,” as well as a series of film shorts from this year's Ombak Bali Film Festival.


Admission is IDR150,000 and includes dinner. The festivities will begin at 5 pm. All proceeds from the event will benefit Eco Surf Rescue Uluwatu (ESRU), the environmental organization creating sustainable waste management solutions for Uluwatu beach.



About Eco Surf Rescue Uluwatu


Started by a group of expat surfers in Bali, ESRU was formed when NGOs GUS Foundation and ROLE Foundation teamed up with the surf industry, local businesses and residents to address the pollution problems at Uluwatu. The ESRU mission is to work with locals to provide solid and liquid waste infrastructure that keeps Uluwatu clean and beautiful. We hope the world-famous surf break will one day become a pristine and healthy World Surf Heritage Area for the benefit of the Uluwatu community and future generations.


Right now ESRU is working to keep the newly installed solid waste and recycling system running. Next, ESRU will install a professionally designed and environmentally friendly liquid waste system to finally solve the problem of leaking sewage and kitchen waste water.

About Kevin Walsh & Artist Of The Search


Based in the iconic California surf town of Santa Cruz, Kevin Walsh, 28, has been producing some of the surfing world's most prized artwork for over a decade. His unique ocean-inspired designs have graced everything from Maverick's guns to Jack Johnson concert posters. Now Bali's legendary surf breaks of Uluwatu and Padang Padang are the focus of Kevin's Artist Of The Search T-Shirt collection, designed right here on the Island of the Gods.




When you buy any Rip Curl Artist Of The Search merchandise, including the 2012 Padang Cup event T-Shirt, you are also helping to protect the waves at world-famous Uluwatu and Padang Padang. For every Kevin Walsh designed Artist Of The Search T-shirt sold, Rip Curl will donate a portion of proceeds to Eco Surf Rescue Uluwatu (ESRU), the environmental organization creating sustainable waste management solutions at Uluwatu beach. Last year Rip Curl donated IDR 54 million (US$5,465) to ESRU from the sale of the 2011 Padang Cup T-shirt. Purchase your piece of surfing history and help us ensure that the perfect tubes of Uluwatu and Padang Padang are clean and healthy for generations to come.

About Uluwatu Surf Villas


Uluwatu Surf Villas is located at Jl.Pantai Suluban, Uluwatu on the Bukit, perched on the cliff top with expansive grounds and 180 degree ocean front views. The Villas have already played host to several film premieres, weddings, fundraisers for the community and private launch parties. The Villas are arguably the finest spot to be on the Island when the sun is setting, live music is playing, and the big screen is set up with the background of the Indian Ocean.


Uluwatu Surf Villas is committed to both directly participating in and educating the local community on sustainable waste management solutions. We are proud to be involved and assisting ESRU's continued conscious effort to protect the environment of Uluwatu and the greater Bukit area.

If you are heading up the hill from Jimbaran, Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu, please ask your driver to head towards the famous Uluwatu Temple and follow the signs to Jl. Pantai Suluban.

Full venue details, directions and maps can be found at the Uluwatu Surf Villa website at: www.uluwatusurfvillas.com or facebook.com/uluwatusurfvillas.
