Da Count – newness in da hood

Spread the love

dacountThere are 2 new establishments that have recently opened up in the Van Ness Village area that excites me. One is a violin studio and the other a fringe performance space.

Last night both places (next door to each other) opened their doors to the public at large for the monthly ArtHop. The violin studio, owned and run by local violin wiz, Patrick Contreras featured the art of Teresa Flores (seen in the pic below) and inspired a spontaneous jam session.

Next door at KP Actors Gym the photos of Kien along with the art works of my friends, Brandy and Ronnie were on display. The new performance space was graced with the talents of Boxcar Figaro and Leah… performers for the upcoming Rogue Festival.

This is all worth counting on so many levels… especially for the local arts scene. KUDOS to Brandy, KP and Patrick for commiting to their passions. BTW… The Fresnan thinks so too and has included some video from last night. To find out what Da Count is all about… click the flashing sign above. To view my previous counts CLICK HERE.

Yeah, I’ve been absent from blogging… and frankly I’m not sure when this will pass. But to make up… here are a few images from this week.
