Blake and Ben came up with the idea of a drawing marathon and an exhibition at The Yes Farm for this weekend. We have been working putting the place into shape to host the artworks and the guests.
Three rooms were cleaned and freshly painted and a stage in the main hall was set to facilitate the community's School Of Rock.
School Of Rock is a summer program initiated by Tim and the children of the Farnsworth community. Once per week the kids would "squa"t Tim's house, practicing on how to play the drums, form a band and perform on stage.
We took the task of fixing the stage, painting the background black, adding lights and dark curtains.
The School Of Rock will be performed on Saturday during the painting marathon.
On Sunday The Yes Farm throw a raffle where people could buy raffles for 1$, take part in a lottery and if their number would come up they could choose to take home one of the drawings exhibited at the space.
Just wanted to say that this was one of the more beautiful things I have seen in the past few years. Seeing a group of random people come together to create something that was entertaining, enlightening, and in support of the local community. Can't wait to see what comes next. Please keep doing this.
