RAISE YOUR VOICE

by Bonita Bruch

April will be an exciting month at Riverwest’s Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts!
On Saturday, April 12, the gallery will be jumping and stomping during RAA’s Swingland fundraiser. Swing music will be provided by the Brew City Band, one of the best swing dance bands in Wisconsin. Refreshments will be served. Hours: 7:30-?. $15 per person or $20 per couple.
Tuesday, April 22 will be the opening reception of RAISE YOUR VOICE, a regional exhibition of two-dimensional works of art of social and political significance. The show was inspired by the Wisconsin protests of 2011, and RAA seeks to be a conduit
for the voices of artists who have created work about social justice issues. The opening will recreate the atmosphere in the Madison capitol during the protests. Guests can sing along with Madison’s renowned SOLIDARITY SINGERS. Ian’s Pizza will be served. Opening Reception Hours: 6-9PM. RAISE YOUR VOICE exhibit will run April 22-May 17.
