Cathy Morris and I playing at Indy Contra last week. We kicked off the season of giving and fundraising by donating our playing fees to Indy Contra, the non-profit dance community that I president of. On December 9th, we will play for Arts For A Purpose, the non-profit organization she runs.
This Tuesday is Giving Tuesday - an international day of giving. I hope you will consider Indy Contra as a non-profit organization that you can financially support. Every week at contra, we love having live music, callers, sound engineers, and a beautiful hall and sound equipment. This makes us unique among all of the other partner dances in Indianapolis. However, dance admission can't cover all of the weekly operating budget. On average, it takes $265 to put on our weekly contra dance. This does not include any yearly expenses that come up.
Indy Contra can take donations through check, cash, paypal (through our email address ITMDGpp (at) gmail.com, or credit card at the dance. We love being a part of the arts scene in Indianapolis, and we appreciate all of the hard work and contributions that help continue the dance. #givingtuesday2018 #contradance #indyjazz #indycontra #grovehaus #artsforapurpose #accordionlife
Tomorrow night - Sam Bartlett and I will be taking the stage at Indy Contra to play music for our monthly Larks and Ravens dance. Besides being musicians, Sam and I both enjoy creating visual art! I love Sam’s work so I thought I’d use a couple images of art we have each created and put them together. Sam’s plywood art on the left and my Nōtan cut out design of an accordion on the right. Come hear us play at 7:45pm at the Grove Haus tomorrow night. #indycontra #grovehaus #notanart #sambartlettart #plywoodart #contradancing #indylivemusic #fountainsquareindy
