With the reddest of red-letter days fast approaching, Open Space and MediaNet resolved to decongest the holidays – to discharge the worst mutations of festive excess and waste like the gelatinous remnants of a co-dependent cold. Music, refreshment and gifts from local artists supported upcoming Open Space and MediaNet programming partnerships.

Like the age old, no-holds-barred grudge match between the Oak King and Holly King (who were invited, by the way), we will wrestle your dogged winter blues to the ground. The merrymaking options abound:

Live drawing projections by Eden Veaudry with Jared Brandle’s cello accompaniment

Magical acts performed by The Great Giffoni

Sets from musicians Slim Sandy and Ry Moran

Fill out your collection, or better yet, help someone start their very own personal art collection and explore investment opportunities during an art auction with wrap-able works by Megan Dickie, Ross Macaulay, Dallas Duobaitis, Marlaina Buch, Iain Baxter, Nathalie Daoust, Eden Veaudry, Rick Raxlen, Suzy Raxlen, Phil Osbourne, Tracey Nelson and more available for purchase

Exceptional food and drink will be catered by local gastronome Kirk Schwartz, with sushi plates by Koto Japanese Restaurant (fish is high in vitamin D!)

 Blasts of light therapy from our in-house SAD lamp

 Signature cocktails to chase the remaining malaise and exercise on the dance floor

 Slim Sandy will DJ pre-Elvis jams until the darkest minutes to midnight.

 Give the gift of participation at this joint Open Space and MediaNet fundraiser. Everyone is welcome.
