I kind of figured this year’s Children of the Revolution festival (going down at Audio Cinema on January 6) was going to be good but I had no idea how good. Check out the press release on this one…

In the spirit of creativity and togetherness Children Of the Revolution has put together the 2nd installment of their annual festival. The event will take place on the 6th of January at Audio Cinema. The line up combines 16 of Portland’s finest musicians as well as 16+ emerging visual artists in an effort to link the diverse amount of artistic talent taking place in this town. Tickets can be purchased at Tube, Rotture, O3 Records, and Bishops.

This January, The Children of the Revolution will move forward with its mission by tapping into the many creative facets of our local community. The collective will hold a massive and remarkable event that will bring together diverse and isolated talents surfacing in Portland.

About Children of The Revolution:
There is an ever-increasing range of skills, talents, and expertise in our local, subterranean art world. Though these projects are equally innovative and progressive, the creative nerve centers that generate these growing forces tend to stay isolated from one another. Children of the Revolution intends to bring an ultra modern idea into view, bridging the gaps that divide these nerve centers.

There has always been a long lineage of artists coming together as a collective with a belief of strengthening a creative community within themselves and others. Children of The revolution is bringing together what is already there by planning a wide range of events involving local businesses, artists, musicians and craftsmen. Thus, creating a collective that encourages people to move forward, take chances in their lives, follow their ambitions and satisfy their need to create.
