It’s September…students are back, the air is cooling down (at least for a few minutes, early in the morning), football is starting and excitement is in the air. There’s lot’s to be pumped about here in Gainesville and SP world.

Monthly Tribute Nights: We started with a Tom Waits night, then, three months later, followed it up with Paul Simon night. Both of these were so amazing that you asked us to do more tributes and do them more often. We listened and now we are set up to do them every month. On September 14 at the Bull, we will have “A Night with the Jersey Devil – A Bruce Springsteen Tribute Night.” Come on out!

The Doris Bardon Community Cultural Center, a new Gainesville Arts Incubator has opened it’s doors. Located just blocks from downtown, The Doris Bardon Community Cultural Center is an arts incubator that supplies workspace, faculty, and supplies to members for reasonable rates. They support equipment for ceramicists, printmakers, painters, and much more. Love this!

Indie Gainesville has started up. This is a group dedicated to supporting local business “and to encourage the self-expression of individuality that truly makes Gainesville unique.”

The Artisan’s Guild Gallery has opened the doors of their shop/ gallery downtown. They’ve got a nice space just across from the Sun Center that is run soley by local artists…CHECK IT OUT!

ArtWalk Gainesville is starting to blossom into an event that is as excited and innovative as it should be for an arts rich town like Gainesville under the guidance of Ken McMurray….great job Ken!

So much is happening these days…keep your eyes open for opportunities to jumo in!
