July 2018 Recap

Art Crawl
We had a huge turnout for the art crawl, which featured work by Brian Summerville along with the captivating performance art of Rebekah Alexander. Their collaborative work had two showings that captured hundreds of crawl attendees for 45 minutes each run. You can see a video of the performance (filmed without the audience) here (coming soon).

Networking
Our team traveled to Seattle, WA to meet with the city's main arts funding organization, 4Culture, to discuss the arts funding challenges in Nashville and how to keep a booming city a welcoming place for artists. We also connected with an arts incubation center the houses many different types of artists - which is part of abrasiveMedia's long term goal in Nashville.
