Detritus show in Turners Falls! Call to Artists: Due April 1

It's the dawn of a new decade, the economy is in trouble & we still have too much garbage. Your art could be part of the solution!

The 2010 Art From Detritus Exhibition will take place at the former Pure Light gallery space and is a juried international art competition for dynamic, inventive and provocative work created from a multitude of materials that would have been discarded if not rescued for artmaking.  More info here

 

Call to Artists - Producers' Series. Due April 15

Do you love Turners Falls? Have an eye for the unusual or underutilized spaces? Have an idea for a cultural event but have not acted on it?  Would you like to give it a whirl with a little help from us? RiverCulture wants to help you get started.  Producers details here. 
 

RiverCulture's Themed Months 2010!

Footprints - July/August/September
Confluence - October/November/December

All themes can be interpreted in any way that makes sense to you. Please contact Lisa at 413-230-9910 or email

Turners Falls Block Party: August 14!

It's time to start thinking about one of the best downtown summer parties of the year. We are partnering with Powertown Music to book some rockin' bands, while providing a training ground for youth working in the booking industry; we're looking forward to Rachel Teumim's 2010 iteration of the Fabrication fashion show, for which we hear she has started preparing; and the Montague Business Association is rallying its troops to start working on their mouth watering street party menus.  While the Block Party keeps getting more interesting each year, the best part of it for us is getting the chance to see everyone in the community get together and just have fun. If you would like to get involved with this year's planning, please email Lisa at riverculture@montague-ma.gov
