Lua Project, in collaboration with McGuffey Art Center, Woven Roots Collective, Sin Barreras & Foreign Playerz would like to invite you to our 14th annual Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration at McGuffey Art Center, which will kick off on November 7th! Music will begins at 5:30, dance at 6:30pm and the celebration ends at 8pm. There will be beautiful memorial altars both to see and a community altar to contribute to, yummy food.

This is an annual fundraiser for Sin Barreras, an immigrant rights advocacy organization very near and dear to our hearts. At this festival, PVCC student artists donate their work for sale and the proceeds go to support Sin Barreras. More details on location and timing are coming soon, but put the day in your calendar.

We are so sad to say that this event has been canceled. As a result of unprecedented, and arbitrary cuts in Federal Arts and Humanities funding, Virginia Humanities (and state humanities councils around the country) lost a huge portion of their funding for programming and operating expenses. As a result, this amazing celebration had to be cancelled. We very much hope that we will be able to re-program this event in the near future. In the meantime, Virginia Humanities, who has been a long time supporter and funder of our work, is still holding on, and we dearly hope that they will rise out of this crisis stronger than ever. If you would like to support the very important, life changing work of Virginia Humanities, please click on this link to donate.

We are very psyched to be able to perform at the beautiful Rokeby Farm, for their 2nd Annual community day, which will feature music, artisans, food trucks, children’s activities, educational plant talks and field walks, and will be just a beautiful day to welcome the first full weekend of Fall. The full crew will be there, and it will be a lovely time. Go to the Oak Spring Garden Foundation website for more information.

Spirit Pine…..This place is… is a place that so many, including Dave and I, have gone over the years to remind ourselves of what is ‘truly’ important in life. Our good friends Betty and Tach are a wealth of inspiration, people that we highly respect and cherish. They have built not only their homes with their bare hands, with this amazing natural building technique called ‘Cob’ building. They have also helped so many others over the years, learn how to shelter their families and build communities with this beautiful natural building technique! They lead, by example the beautiful life that so many of us aspire to— to live lightly on the land and do good! We can’t wait to play a home concert for them with our girls.
