Concerts @ Quadrangle: Help and Hope for Haiti
Many of us have wa  tched in horror as the stories of devastation and destruction continue to come out of Haiti, where a massive earthquake has completely rocked the country, bringing it to a literal standstill, with many people unable to connect with families, friends, and loved ones. To say that this destruction is heartbreaking is an understatement, and many of us have already stepped up to help by donating to local organizations or by texting to give to organizations such as the American Red Cross. For those of you who have been searching for a practical way to give, we would like to offer you some further options.Option 1 We are partnering with local organization See the Need, Meet the Need and Hope for Haiti to airlift supplies to Haitian relief efforts. Hope for Haiti has been given two 757 airplanes and will be packing them full of supplies in the next several days and weeks to transport overseas. To learn more about Hope for Haiti, please feel free to visit their website at www.hopeforhaiti.com. On the site are a list of supplies that they are in desperate need of, and any donation would be appreciated. To make things easy for you, we will be collecting items at the next Concerts @ Quadrangle, THIS FRIDAY, January 22. There will be boxes throughout the gallery and concert space for you to drop off supplies, and we will get them to Hope for Haiti next week. Below are a few recommended items that can be easily purchased at your local grocery store. Of course, if you are in a profession that gives you access to other supplies (i.e. doctor, construction, etc.), feel free to donate those as well.
Our artists are generously offering to donate a portion of the proceeds from their items sold to Haitian relief efforts. This is a great way to both add to your life while simultaneously changing the life of someone you may never meet. In addition, donation jars will be distributed throughout the room, as well as a portion of all bar tips being donated to relief efforts. Ultimately, it isn't difficult to change the life of someone- even someone on the other side of the world that you may never meet. Join YnC and these great artists and organizations as we work together to send love, help, and hope to those so desperately in need of it right now. Be the Change |

Concerts @ Quadrangle: Soul Comes to Uptown
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It was an absolutely amazing 2009 and we've definitely got you to thank for it. In 2009 we saw the start of Young and Cultured, the kickoff of Concerts @ Quadrangle, and the introduction of some of Dallas' most talented (and in some cases unheard of) artists to the city of Dallas. We can not thank you enough for how much you have supported the arts community in Dallas, and we're excited to be able to bring you even more music and great art in 2010.So, 2010 is here and we're back in action, bringing you some of the best music that DFW has to offer. First up for this month is local soul artist Eric Tipton on January 22 at 8:13. Eric's from a small town in North Texas who was brought up on old-school soul and singers like Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway. By the age of 17, Eric was singing before crowds as they swooned to his soulful blend of soul and acoustic singer/songwriter melodies. When asked about his inspiration, Tipton says he writes "about love, life, and music."
In addition, we have the privilege of welcoming local artist, SAMO4PREZ to Studio 2717. SAMO4PREZ's work has been seen across Texas and
around the world and is influenced by his many travels across the country and around the world. We're excited to be a part of continuing to showcase great artist's work right here at home, and this is one artist that we are thrilled to feature. SAMO4PREZ has been creating for 35 years on a plane of imaginary existence. Traveling the globe from the USA to Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Romania, Paris, Mexico, Thailand, Japan and his former home for a moment, China SAMO4PREZ is an artist, writer, designer, activist, philanthropist and neo-reformed movement-ist (he's also a wordsmith). SAMO4PREZ has shown his work in galleries from California (his place of birth) to his new home Texas and many places inbetween.SAMO4PREZ is also known as Ty Clark and is the CEO/Founder/Designer for Veritas Fashion and is a member of the Veritas Artist Collective and 5D Artists Group.
