AHA MEDIA encourages everyone to go out and hear Bob Petterson and other local Vancouver musicians play on May 23rd 🙂

Bob Petterson says ” I’m fortunate that I get to work with some amazing local musicians and that two terrific local singer/songwriters are willing to make use of my modest talent on bass guitar.

The headliner for the show is The Mike Webster Band. More information available here: http://www.mikewebster.moonfruit.com/

Mike’s set will largely feature his original songs along with a handful of diverse, and surprising, covers. Magnetic West features all-original music by Randall T. Carpenter who also happens to be my compatriot, and the lead guitarist, in The Mike Webster Band.

Main thing is come out and have some fun! ” 🙂

AHA MEDIA is pleased to be a Media Sponsor of the Out of the Rain Program at the Flack Block (175 W. Hastings at Cambie )

AHA MEDIA is pleased to be a Media Sponsor of  the Out of the Rain program in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES)

Initiated in 2005, the Out of the Rain program in Vancouver is an evolving unique initiative that brings together professional and marginalized artists to promote genuine solutions to homelessness, as well as develop new methods of art production, sustainable art practice, life stability planning, and dissemination.

Special emphasis is working closely with those artists who face significant challenges (mental health, housing, addiction, poverty) to maintaining and sustaining a regular art practice but who, in the face of these challenges, persevere to make art as a means of survival and self-expression.

What About Love? : Out of the Rain Group Exhibition

June 5th to 28th, 2009

Opening: Friday June 5th, 2009, 6:00pm-10:00pm.
Artists from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside show new work produced during  Out of the Rain program.

Since 2005, Out of the Rain has been bringing together professional and marginalized artists to develop new methods of art production, sustainable art practice, life stability planning, and a professional exhibit.

Special emphasis is placed on working with artists who face challenges to maintaining regular art practice but who, in spite of these challenges, persevere to make art as a means of survival and self-expression. To this end, twelve artists are being provided with studio space, art supplies and sustenance. These artists were selected from over 50 interested and qualified artists.

This year, Out of the Rain is generously funded by the Social Responsibility Fund (through the City of Vancouver). Gallery Gachet (http://www.gachet.org) would also like to thank the Salient Group for providing subsidized street level work space in the Flack Block (175 W. Hastings at Cambie).

AHA MEDIA believes that Out of the Rain ( OOTR ) is an outstanding and very worthwhile project in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES ) area! We are pleased to support all the artists for their creative spirit and hard work to keep arts alive in our communities! 🙂
