GIVING-TREE-BACK
Next Wednesday, we gather back at The Vagabond for a great cause… Local musician Paul Gaeta aka PG-13 teaches art at a local elementary school that has seen its art supply budget for this year slashed to ZERO DOLLARS. That’s why Sweat and PG’s label Circuitree have put together a great night called THE GIVING TREE. Featuring live performances (Afrobeta, Junc Ops, OOO + Jiae Hwang, Starlund), DJs (Romulo Del Castillo, CNTRL, PG-13), visual art (Bhakti Baxter, Kent Hernandez, 131 Projects) and even baked goods by Cadycakes!

It will surely be a fantastic audio, visual, and gustatory experience and you can read more about it in the New Times’ write up here. There’s a $5 donation at the door and 100% of proceeds go toward giving the kids a creative outlet. If you can’t make it out Wednesday, if you like you can send $5 via paypal to info@sweatrecordsmiami.com and we’ll put it toward the cause!

Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs Town Hall Meeting 8/3/09

Posted on    by

{It’s interesting that they hold this when most people with jobs cannot go to it. But, if you are in a position to be able to attend, I highly recommend it.}

The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs is holding a Town Hall Meeting on Monday, August 3, 2009 at the Miami Science Museum from 2pm to 3:30pm. In attendance will be Adolfo Henriques, Chairman of the Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs Council; Michael Spring, Director of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Dennis Moss, Chairman of the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners. It should be very informative and give the cultural community a good understanding of EXACTLY what we can expect if the proposed budget becomes implemented.
