First
of all we are excited to announce the launch of the new website.
It includes all the regular information about Nexus Entertainment
Arts and many new things. Photos, Staff Bios, Full Project Information,
Sponsor Listings, New Initiatives we are supporting as well as a
Community Events Page.
SPECIAL
THANKS! - Fundraising Update
Before we get into all the announcements I want to take this moment
to publicly thank all the people who came to our first fundraising
Reception and made financial contributions. Because of those gifts
a little over $2,000 has been raised. This brings funds just shy
of 1/4 of our $10,000 goal which is being put towards opening a
small art & music lounge. Also, much thanks needs to Hy-Vee for
the generous support as well as the New Bohemia Group.
COMMUNITY
EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are committed to supporting events and initiatives that help
expand and develop the creative process. To help with that we have
added a Community Events page to the site. Its open to anyone
and free of charge. If you know of a good event that people should
know about just check the website for details on how to submit your
event to the Events & Announcement Page. We will then add it to
the site and include it in regular Event Blast Emails. We
are really excited about this and hope you will use it and enjoy
receiving information about area events.
GOODBYE
NEXUS PRESENTS... HELLO JACKBOX PRODUCTIONS
We have helped launched Jackbox Productions which will now
handle all event planning and talent placement. Many people were
becoming confused as to what Nexus was. Is Nexus a booking company
a or community arts development organization? For anyone new coming
to the Nexus site that should be very clear now. In addition to
talent placement Jackbox Society will coexist alongside Jackbox
Productions to create and develop a positive community for creative
people.
NOMINATED
FOR AN AWARD???
Not exactly... But The New Bohemia Music Festival was nominated
for an ICCA "Icky" Award in the category of local festivals. We
are very proud that this effort which we helped to realize was recognized
by such an honorable community award. Next year????
WHAT'S
IN STORE FOR 2008
Here is a brief look at what we will be focusing on this year.
- 2008
marks the first year we have started official fundraising and
we will continue to pursue sponsorship from area businesses and
individuals as well as grants.
-
We will continue working to help establish a local Art and Music
Lounge where people can meet, learn, and explore the arts in a
positive atmosphere.
- We
will continue working with artists, musicians and the community,
through Jackbox Productions, to bring unique and inspiring events
to our area.
-
The Bricolage Theatre project is not far from sight and we will
be incorporating all the educational and creative development
programing of this initiative into the Art & Music Lounge.
-
For the second year we will offer our complete support in organizing
and planning of the New Bohemia Art and Music Festival.
Thank
you for your support over the years. It means more than we can say.
