SEATTLE, WA-- As the Ladies First
Collective Project wraps up its 10th season in the Seattle area, we plan on
celebrating Saturday, July 2, 2012 at Washington Hall. Until then, we have one more fantastic
showcase at the NW Folklife Festival on May 26, 2012. Since the closing of Communities Against Rape
and Abuse (CARA) and the moving of Hidmo to Washington Hall, we have shifted
and changed. With hard work, we acquired
a grant from 4culture and were able to pay artists stipends and more. We have
been busy producing monthly shows at Life Enrichment Books, supporting two
artists releasing their chapbooks, sponsoring community events, collaborating
across genres, having our first international internet broadcast show, and organizing
the Women Who Rock Conference, Film Festival, and Showcase. As always, we have supported known and
unknown artists that inspire us to create and envision the possibilities of the
power of people. We look forward to our
second showcase at the Northwest Folklife Festival and invite you to continue the
celebration of ten years on Saturday, May 26, 2012 at 11:00am to 2:00pm at the
Vera Project Stage during our Northwest Folklife Festival Showcase where
seasoned and new artists will continue to inspire and enhance your
understanding of community, music, genres, creation, liberation, and magic.
