Have you heard about ArtHouse! yet? I hope so, 'cus they are a powerhouse of communit activism and a catalys for community art. This Sunday they are presenting another free outdoor concert. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and your dancing shoes to Banfield Square in Van Etten on Sunday, June 26th, from 2 PM to 5 PM. The Art House! will be sponsoring live music from Toivo and The Black Walnut Band. Toivo will kick things off at 2 PM. They are a six piece band from Trumansburg with Van Etten roots. They will be playing Finnish, Tex-Mex, and original music suited to the traditional dances of the Finger Lakes Region - waltzes, schottisches, polkas, mazurkas, two-steps, hambos and reels. Toivo (pronounced toy-vo) is the Finnish word for `hope'. The Black Walnut Band will follow from 3-5. From Ithaca, they play Americana, folk and roots music. Last year, ArtHouse sponsored Djug Django and more than 100 people came out to listen, dance and enjoy themselves in the park. This all-ages event is FREE and is made possible by a generous grant from The Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes. The Art House! is a not-for-profit group that celebrates local arts in the community.
