We're back in Cville now, gearing up for our show here at Try And Make Art Gallery. The past couple of days have been absolutely a blast, with great crowds in both Richmond and Virginia Beach!
Tuesday night we descended up Gallery5, a cool (possibly seedy) joint located in downtown Richmond. The gallery inhabits the oldest firehouse in all of Virginia and is home to the only burlesque show I've ever heard of! Needless to say, this space had some serious vibe to it. As usual Tim Be Told rocked it out and Andrew Briggs had a chance to share some profound thoughts on the role of the arts in humanitarianism. And after some technical difficulties we were able to show the videos of Freedom In Creation's work. Thanks to everyone who came out and to Gallery5 for hosting the event!
Last night we took over the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia, a super-chic venue and auditorium. John, our sound guy was thrilled to have a room big enough to flex his sound system's muscles and we were able to fill the entire entrance room with the Story of Freedom art exhibit. Joining us was Saladaze, a local jam band that got the night off to rockin start. We also got to use CACV's giant screen to show the videos on, which was one of the highlights of the night for me (FIC on the big screen!). Again, we had such a good turnout -- so many people stopped and talked with Andrew or I about the work and how they could be involved in this work of healing in Northern Uganda.
Looking forward to tonight, we are absolutely thrilled to be back in our hometown of Charlottesville! This should be such a fun night and hopefully one that will greatly advance the work of Freedom In Creation. Be sure to check back for an update on how the night went!
