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 painted people I met in the Quarantine," Markus explained. "Particularly ones who've taught me things. You've been teaching me about animals and how to care for them. I hope I painted your velociraptor accurately," he added.

People, liking him? Actually doing things for him, getting him gifts, doing paintings of him? It was still a wild concept, for him.
"Yeah, she looks perfect," he smiled warmly. The blue pattern around the eye wasn't an exact copy, but considering Markus had only Owen's verbal descriptions to guide him, it looked pretty amazing. "There's someone you should meet, actually. A new friend of mine. I haven't brought her to the zoo yet or anything, but if you're ever up for a little adventure beyond the walls, you should come by my cabin."

"I look forward to it," he smiled, then turned his attention back to the painting. "I wish I could do something like this for you, but... I don't have a lot of artistic skill." He could carve wood, but that was about it.

"What? Oh, no. It's too good. I'd feel bad not paying for it," he shook his head. "But if you can ever think of something you want from me, we can make it a trade."

"I will let you know if I think of something," he said instead.
