Por Vida IV news!

As we wrap up another great year, we're so very thankful for what has been accomplished. The artists, sponsors, performers, and crowd are unlike anything we see at other events. The support for Por Vida creates the energy of it. The Wall of Remembrance grows bigger and bigger each year. Names that fill the wall are people we surely wish we still had in our daily lives, but the fact that people bring and post them, as guests of honor to Por Vida is exactly what this is all about. We will strive year after year to keep this format going and keep it accessible to those that are willing to participate and memorialize in this way, festively and respectfully.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding photos and links to photos of the event.

We wish to congratulate Eden Richardson (12 years) for being this years Por Vida coloring contest winner! Eden will receive a $100 gift certificate to CCAD art classes!

Please join us on Saturday, November 5th at the Salon Hotel Lily for round two of the Por Vida IV art exhibit. This collection is of the remaining available pieces from the Por Vida art show.

7-10pm

Thank you once again for showing your support and love to Por Vida.

We regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer Por Vida IV tshirts this year.

There will be still be handmade lino printed cards, banners and buttons for you Por Vida IV memorabilia!

We spent the day tidying up the studio and decorating in preparation for Por Vida IV!

The Columbus Alive came in to do a quick interview with myself and artist Kelly Henninger to discuss our work and what's new for the event this year. I'm very proud of what Por Vida has become, and I can hardly wait to share what we have in store for you.

Listen in to CD101 on the morning of Monday, October 24th (8:15) when Dan Gerdeman and I will talk about Por Vida on air, and Dan will be sharing what he has been diligently working, the DJ booth altar dedicated to the late Andyman of Cd101 fame.

On Tuesday, October 25th, join us at Surly Girl Saloon as they host a benefit event all day and night for Por Vida IV. You'll just have to come, eat, drink, and check the bottom of your seat for a chance to win one of the last remaining tickets for free entry to Por Vida IV.

There are only three left!
