Mix-n-Mash 2009 goes to NoBro
Mix-n-Mash moves to NoBro for the third annual event featuring film, fashion, music, performance and visual art occurring October 23 and 24 at f-stop visual arts center, The Space and ƒ/stop Fitzgerald’s. In addition to exhibits and performances, the benefit for Mid-Valley Video Festival offers area filmmakers, artists, designers, performers and musicians an opportunity to network and share experiences about living and working in Salem.
Visual artist Chris Haberman will be on hand during his exhibit at the f-stop visual arts center Saturday. Haberman is the creative director of Portland City Art and curator of Big 100 Art Show occurring there in December. He will be featured on Oregon Art Beat this season in November. Local designer Matt Kenitzer, owner of someone clothing, will also be at the center with his latest line of casual wear clothing.
Next door at ƒ/stop Fitzgerald’s, music video from previous Mix-n-Mash events will be on the big screen both nights. The installation will showcase the best performances from more than 100 local creatives involved in the Salem arts scene during the past two years. Past participants will receive bar specials and pumpkin carving and a cigar bar will be offered on the patio.
Live music will take the stage at The Space, with hard rockers Mrs. Esterhouse, Defeating the Purpose, 3B! performing on Friday and jazz musicians All in Perspective and Jake Duncan playing on Saturday.
The event will take place from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. both days at f-stop visual arts center and ƒ/stop Fitzgerald’s, 335 Grove St NE and 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. at The Space, 1132 Broadway NE.
