Education is the first step to understanding fine culture: fine art, food, music or wine. Audiences enjoy these things individually all the time, why not combine them for a new
perspective and appreciation? Sure, there has to be a clear foundation, relevance and perspective for audiences to appreciate what we do as artists but, nothing that is threatening or off-putting to existing or new audiences. Chad works to provide an fun and exciting experience for patrons to enjoy mixed-media culture: music, art, food and drink. Through these events, audiences will gain new perspective and appreciation for our local treasures and our audience base will grow.
