MUSIC AND ART - the spice of life

July 22, 2016

I met some very special, big-hearted, courageous, and talented people last night at the Paint Party fundraiser for Leah Weber. Candice Blevins did a GREAT JOB organizing the event; I know how much work went into that and I appreciate her and all of her helpers and supporters of this fundraiser. 


ART forFUNd$ (c) by Phoenix Circle Foundation, is a way for anyone to raise money for a special cause, and your donation to participate in a Paint Party is tax-deductible to individuals. We believe in helping the community and in win-win endeavors. 





 
 
 


 





On Tuesday, Judy Painter and Rose Kimball from Austin Texas stopped in at the Chaparral Retreat on their way to Illinois and performed for us out on the front porch.  OKLAHOMA HOUSE CONCERTS has been featured on the KOSU Music Minute and we are getting a wide variety of musicians come through.  The atmosphere is unique and intimate.  Since Phoenix Circle Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), we don't have an "advertising" budget but are attracting people from all around NW OK and OKC suburbs from our posters, facebook posts, and word of mouth recommendations.  Donations to Phoenix Circle Foundation are appreciated and are tax-deductible to individuals.  We are so blessed to have these wonderful musicians come here.  


 
 

On September 17, guitarist Glenn Roth will be here, and on October 6, Merry Ellen Kirk will return for a second performance here.  OKLAHOMA HOUSE CONCERTS are FREE.  Andy and Linda Barrett provide lodging and meals for the minstrels, and these artists play for tips and CD sales and the sheer enjoyment of sharing their craft.  To receive information on upcoming shows and events, go to our facebook page, PHOENIX CIRCLE FOUNDATION, and "LIKE" it, or send us your email address at phoenixcir@yahoo.com.
