Friday Night Flix: SUCCESS!!

Antonia July 13th, 2010

So many reasons why we love going downtown every Friday! The trolley rides, Rockford City Market, playing in the fountains, seeing old friends, meeting new and at the end of the evening: catching a classic flick at Davis Park.

If you missed this past event, PLEASE make it a point to come to our next: BATMAN. Make it a date night or bring the kids, Friday Night Flix are for every person, from all walks of life, and all situations. I have met young couples, kids, pre-teens, rich, poor, and somewhere in between, all colors, all races.

Every Friday night OUR CITY comes together to enjoy an evening together. I can’t even begin to imagine the countless connections that are made between individuals every Friday by couples who have been waiting for an outdoor movie for a romantic evening or by old friends who haven’t seen each other in years and ‘Oh my gosh, how did you find out about this?’

Anywho, I could go on and on because Friday Night Flix is something I am so excited about and I hope to see you out this week. Check out some photos from last week (click on the photo to find out what’s going on in the picture):

P.S.

We are always in need of volunteers! Please e-mail azipse@gmail.com if you are interested in acting as a greeter or a popcorn machine worker for an evening!

Community Murals Project UPDATE!

Antonia June 24th, 2010

I am so happy to announce that we are getting this project off the ground!! Tuesday night, about 10 artists met with Tabatha Dougherty, of WallWorx Murals, at WallBlank in the Brewhouse. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED AND TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT!

I firmly believe that this project will set the tone for what artists in Rockford can accomplish with just a little TEAMWORK!

There are still a few hoops to jump through at the moment so we can fulfill our vision for the Community Murals Project.

Right now, our goal is to finish up to 5 pieces of art, measuring 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall, to be placed down West State Street. WE CAN DO IT!

Each board will be painted LIVE every week during Sunday in the Park in Davis Park by a different artist or group of artists. This SUNDAY, stop by the Community Murals booth to get more information and to meet some of the artists.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
