What's Happening?
A new concert series called 'The Stacks' has been launched in Sacramento, California, as a collaboration between PBS KVIE and Amatoria Fine Art Books. This initiative aims to showcase local musicians and artists by hosting performances at the Amatoria bookstore
located at 19th and F streets. The series will feature a 30-minute concert, a single, and a Q&A session with local musicians or bands every two weeks, which will be available on the Abridged YouTube channel. The project seeks to connect the Sacramento community through music and art, offering a platform for local talent to be discovered and appreciated.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of 'The Stacks' concert series is significant for Sacramento's cultural landscape as it provides a new platform for local artists to gain visibility and engage with the community. By hosting these events in a bookstore, the series also promotes the integration of different art forms, fostering a richer cultural environment. This initiative could enhance the local economy by attracting visitors and encouraging spending in the Midtown area. Additionally, it supports the mission of public media to inspire community connection and exploration through cultural experiences.
What's Next?
The series will continue with upcoming performances, including artists like Anton Barbeau, who will perform on August 12. The events are designed to be intimate, with a small live audience, and tickets are available through Eventbrite. The series will continue to release new performances over the coming months, providing ongoing opportunities for local artists to showcase their work and for the community to engage with Sacramento's vibrant art scene.
