It’s Via Day!

Join us during Via Perkins’ Folkist Space residency for a listening room experience, art talk, and meet-and-greet happy hour on Valentine’s Day! (Pairs well with an early dinner at our residency sponsor Nola’s if you’re out on date night.)

On February 14th at 7PM, Via will join us for an IN RESIDENCE night at Folkist Space. Listen to live singer/songwriter tunes and learn about Via’s process, then mix and mingle with neighbors over refreshments in an intimate house party setting.

With limited tickets available first to KAC members and Folkist Space newsletter subscribers, these nights are small gatherings of about 20 folks. If you claim a ticket and can’t attend, we hope you’ll let us know or share it with a friend so someone can take your spot!

About the Artist

Via Perkins (artist name: vialiveshere) is a Type A creative — equal parts sensitive artist and Google Calendar obsessive. She has a near-constant inner monologue, is usually talking to herself about the past or the future, and has never really let go of anything.

Songs result from this babbling brook of thoughts, sometimes via journal entry, sometimes while strumming guitar, and sometimes in dreams. And yes, they are all organized in labeled documents and folders and backed up on hard drives.

Musically, she draws from the bluegrass and country her aunt used to put on at family gatherings, the singer/songwriters her mom played on cassette in the car while heading to the beach, and the rock songs she blasted into her headphones from the CD player she owned in her teenage years.

About our IN RESIDENCE Nights

”In residence” nights at Folkist Space are part of our mission to restore the arts to their natural habitat— our kitchens, living rooms, and local neighborhoods. A cross between an artist performance and a house party, each “In Residence” night invites a Folkist Space artist resident to share a peek behind the scenes into their art practice. Immersive art sharing is followed by refreshments and a chance to meet & mingle with neighbors and our resident artist.

SUPPORT THE ARTISTS!

We keep ticket prices low to keep these intimate events accessible, but they only cover the cost of refreshments. Our artist residents are generously donating their time, and we will have a cash donation jar and a QR code at all IN RESIDENCE events. We ask that attendees offer an at-will donation to the artist of any amount they can afford— 100% of proceeds from these events goes directly to our artist residents.
