Music news Eyedrum turns 10
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 7:40 PM
This Saturday, October 11th Atlanta's longest running, and totally volunteer-run nonprofit art and music gallery is celebrating 10 years of keeping Atlanta from completely falling prey to gentrification and big box strip malls.
Ten years is a solid run for Eyedrum that has seen comrade DIY and outsider strongholds, like IAG, ISP and Art Farm go the way of the Dodo. It is a time that also saw Eyedrum grow from being a handful of dedicated members giving it their all at the Tinity Ave. location, to a nationally respected Atlanta-based arts organization that boasts a board of over 20 members.
The celebration this Saturday, dubbed “A 10 Year Affair,” features performances from several local musical acts, including Judi Chicago, the Hotels, No Face and Matthew Proctor, along with DJs Zano and Chris Daresta. There is also an awards ceremony in which "Eddie Awards" are given out in recognition of Atlanta’s deserving but unheralded artists and venues.
The will also be a screening of the locally produced documentary film, Eyedrum: The 10 Year Affair commemorative DVD.
WHEN: Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008, 8 p.m.-midnight.
WHERE: Eyedrum, 290 MLK Drive, Suite 8, Atlanta 30312
How Much: $10 for non-members, members asked to make a donation. Friend-level memberships will be available for $25, a $10 discount. Tickets available in advance through Criminal Records, Decatur CD, Ella Guru or online here. Also you can charge by phone at 1-877-725-8849.
