OPEN / "Bring Yourself" Arts & Culture event!
who: Cameron Waltz and you!
what: "Bring Yourself" Arts & Culture event!
when: Today!
where: Riverside Community Centre.
warnings: None predicted.
Open invitation on the network!
The community center is normally a modest building, albeit one with a spectacular riverfront view. Tonight, it's putting on the ritz. Multicolored lanterns hang on either side of the sidewalk leading up to the front of the building, and music of all kinds, depending on what time it is, pours out of the open doors and into the street. Local vendors have set up small carts to show off their wares and offer small trinkets and fresh food for sale, displaying their local pride.
Inside, things have been completely redecorated for the event. It's a modern open concept gallery, with blank walls for artwork and written word, empty pedestals to display objects, and plenty of tables with chairs. Some pieces are already on display, from paintings to exotic foods. Small crowds gather around people telling stories or showing off their special skills and talents.
That music plays live from the small main stage overlooking a dance floor, both of which can be cleared for demonstrations of everything from dance to martial arts. Anything physical that requires that little bit of extra room.
Musicians are free to write their names for a time-slot on the stage, and can choose to be accompanied by the onsite pianist and guitarist, bring their own instruments or backup, or perform solo.
All throughout the room are food and drink stations, where staff serves wine, beer, limited spirits, and soft drinks. The exotic foods are on display here, from which the guests can help themselves. If you can imagine it, someone has managed to cook it.
At the far end of the building is an outdoor patio overlooking the river, with seating and torches to light the area through the night. Most displays of magic take place out there, where practitioners can go all-out casting their most extravagant spells.
The crowd ebbs and flows, gathering to socialize during lulls and splitting off to see new events and installations as they come in. Other than opening and closing statements by Cameron Waltz, there's very little structure.
Casual and relaxed, the focus is on learning, generating conversation, and meeting new people. It's an organized free-for-all, a mini festival dedicated to the celebration of the cultures and backgrounds of everyone in Riverview. And in a city made up of a thousand universes worth of people, there's more than enough to see.
[Characters can bring pieces with them as they arrive, and simply set themselves up around the room. Contributions aren't limited to art, anything goes! Feel free to play random observer/staff/performer NPCs. The party goes until midnight, have fun!]

"I like this event very much. Thank you for organizing it. I like your artwork," he added with a nod to the prints.

“And I appreciate you thinking so, I was a little nervous to show them. It’s more of a private hobby. I’d never imagined showing anyone.” He casts his eyes to the prints, looking them over. There are quite a few different animals, depicted in the written language of the people Cam most relates them to. His personal favourite is the camel, but the giraffe is a close second.
“Is there any one you’d like? I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do with them, once the show is over.”

He tilted his head, thinking over the man's words. "Usually once a showing is over, art is kept in galleries," Markus told him. "Sometimes they are bought by private collectors or placed in museums."

He mulls over the work decorating the gallery walls. All different. All beautiful in their own way. Art reminds him of people in that way. If all people come away with from this event is that everyone has something about themselves worth sharing, Cam will be happy.
"I have a proposition for you. Let's trade. One of yours for one of mine."

"May I have this one? I haven't seen that movie in years, but looking at this, I can remember the way I felt when I watched it."
