KVMR and NC Arts have teamed up to showcase shelters for creatures utilizing recycled tin from the old Bridge Street building where KVMR now stands, made by local artists. The shelters will be on display at various local businesses during the month of March and will be available at the event on March 26th which will include both a silent and live auction of the pieces. The shelters include housing for Dogs, Cats, Birds, Turtles, Owls, Chickens and even a Worm box!
In 2013, KVMR and the Nevada Theatre joined forces to build a new home for the station, build a backstage for the theater and make some much needed repairs to the 150-year old theater. Behind the theater were three tin sheds, and some of that tin was re-purposed in the new building. Now, the remaining tin is now being re-purposed to build these one-of-a-kind animal shelters by local artists.
This collaborative endeavor showcases the unique pioneering spirit of Nevada County by combining the creative, ecological, cooperative, aesthetic, and often humorous qualities that continue to sustain a vibrant and eclectic community. Entertainment will showcase poetry by Molly Fisk, and music by the band Possum, and will be emceed by KVMR Board Member and Broadcaster Phil Northcutt and Melinda Booth will run the auction. Food will be available for purchase from Horn of the Bull Taqueria and Cheri’s Ice Cream, and the event will have a no-host bar.
Join us for an afternoon of fun and entertainment!
