Calling All Artists to the Open Stage
Erie, PA, May 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Erie Art Museum is calling all local artists to participate in Open Stage Night, Friday, June 3, 2011, 6:30-9 p.m. in the Museum’s new performance space. Any group or individual can sign up for a short set (two pieces, or eight minutes, whichever is shorter) stating at 5:30 p.m. Original work is encouraged, and visual artists can get in on the act, too, by bringing digital images on DVD or jump drive. Contact Kelly Armor at the museum or at folkart@erieartmuseum.org if you have questions.
“This event is particularly aimed for emerging artists in our community who may not have opportunities to regularly engage with other artists or perform or exhibit for an audience,” said EAM’s Director of Marketing & Development, Carolyn Eller. “It’s not just for singer-songwriters, but for any creative type.”
The event is free and open to the public to participate or attend, with a suggested $5 donation. A cash beer & wine bar will be available in the lobby. For more information, visit erieartmuseum.org or contact Kelly at 459-5477 or folkart@erieartmuseum.org.
Lyons Den Productions will be taking over the Erie Art Museum during this event to film a scene from Director John C. Lyons’ latest project, There Are No Goodbyes. All visitors of the Erie Art Museum on June 3rd are required to sign a consent form allowing Lyons Den Productions the right to use their image in the film.
There Are No Goodbyes is a fictional story about choices and finding purpose in one’s life in the context of the current sociopolitical climate of blue-collar America. Scenes for the film have already been shot in Poland, Czech Republic, and Ireland and production is currently taking place in Erie, PA.
