We got a killer hardcore show this week. I am very excited to see the new band from GR called XSHALLOWBREATHX we dont get a lot of hardcore bands like this in GR so this should be a ripper of a show for sure. Its this Wed. at the DAAC check the show listings for all the info.
Also some killer things happening at the Bloom collective. I really never get to this place and they do really provide some cool things to our radical community. I for one need to get over at check it out more often then i do thats for sure. So check out this cool events. I for one really want to check the Art prize discussion because its something if you live in GR you should have some thoughts on it. Is it bad is good or just ok? What harm does it really cause? Well come to the discussion below and find out.
Canning workshop: September 19th 1 – 5 pm. Join experienced canners from The Bloom Collective, G.R. Free School, and Our Kitchen Table for four hours of hands-on fun with fruit and vegetables! Bring jars, lids, a knife, a cutting board, and produce for canning.
ArtPrize discussion: September 25th 3 – 5 pm. Open competition? Or capitalist casino? How many artists hours are gambled away in the ArtPrize slots? Who REALLY gets the big pay-off? Does it truly benefit the G.R. arts scene? How does ArtPrize contribute to the continuing gentrification of Grand Rapids? Join us for a potluck discussion with Grand Rapids artists. Bring a dish to pass, the Bloom will provide vegan options.
