The ultimate purpose of our little conspiracy here is to provide an
annual event to our local community which will celebrate innovation in
the arts. Along with presenting the newest, up and coming ideas and
creations, innovations from the past will also be revisited, for some
historical context and education.
This will be accomplished by means of a concert series accompanied by art installations.
Performers and artists are welcome to apply. Further instructions will be posted here each year around April or May, including some
guidelines about what we are looking for. Funds are limited this first
year, but we promise to pay our artists at least their gas money.
At present we have practically no budget. So we will start small and
let it grow organically for the first year. In subsequent years we will
pursue sponsors and grant money. (And thereby pay our valued artists
what they are worth!)
Our first annual concert will be held at November 3rd, 2017, starting at 7 pm, at Old Nick's Pub, 211 Washington St,. Eugene, OR. It will feature performances by Don Haugen, No-Element, Xapchyk, A Pack of Majors, Vortex Remover, and The Giant Worm.
In future years
we hope to expand the event to an entire weekend of music, and other
performances, all around the Eugene/Springfield area.
