We are partners with The Scrap Exchange (a really cool creative re-use organization here in Durham). 548 Foster Street. Durham, NC.
"The Scrap Exchange - where you can unleash both your inner artist and environmental activist." - The News & Observer
Mission Statement:
-
Take creative music out of the traditional music venue and into public spaces where it may be enjoyed at no cost by a wider cross-section of the community.
Play to promote community events such as benefits or social justice actions that the group believes are worthy causes
Compose and perform only works that allow musicians at every level of experience (beginner to professional) to participate in the band
Collaborate with the artists/creative individuals/arts organizations to create multi-arts projects that allow for participation from artists of all disciplines.
