The Rhythms of the Earth Art Series kicked off this past weekend. We’re celebrating Black History Month at the Carrot through music, lyrics, drums, art, words, and dances from all over Africa. Garth Prinsonsky and Adje Performers got us going, Garth bringing reflections of life in Namibia through song, and Adje filling the Carrot with joyous drumming. If you weren’t able to come, there’s still a lot to look forward this February, with a Drumming Workshop being the next event. Come on by on Thursday, February 7th, 2:00 if you would like to try your hand at playing djembe.
Check our calendar for full event listing.

Arts on the Ave is hosting a fundraising “tabula rasa” painting event at the Nina Haggerty gallery, on 118 Ave, on Saturday, February 25. And just what is a tabula rasa, you might wonder. Well, it is a Latin term meaning a “clean slate.” And that is exactly what you will receive. Here is how it works – for a mere $118 you get a blank canvas. We supply paint and brushes. We will also provide food and wine to help liberate your inner artist (come on, you know there is a little Picasso, Rembrandt or Warhol in there somewhere). Our crew, led by AOTA board member and artist Glen Ronald, will provide encouragement, insight and inspiration to help you create your own personal masterpiece. Bring your friends and help us raise funds to support the amazing work of the Carrot and Arts on the Ave. Spaces are limited, so please contact tabularasa118@gmail.com to reserve your spot
