The arts scene is beginning to emerge from its COVID-19 nap, but slowly. Many arts venues remain closed, and will for months, in the case of the biggest venues.
So our First Friday Arts segment, a celebration of local arts events, is something of a mixed bag once again... with an arts event or two folded within songs composed or at least played during the lockdowns.
We put out feelers for people to send in recorded songs; those will air around phone calls of arts happenings. Add to the list at 800-838-3760.
This month's visitors, a surprisingly long list:
- Tessa Brinckman, announcing a new single
- Art and Soul Gallery in Ashland
- Oregon Cabaret Theatre in Ashland
- Collaborative Theatre Project in Medford
- New Zone Gallery in Eugene
With music from:
- Bret Levick
- Scott Calamar
- Jeff Pevar and Inger Nova Jorgensen, playing "We Will Rise" with Francesco Lucarelli and Marco Valerio Cecilia
