Special events at the pilot light
For nearly 15 years The Pilot Light , at 106 East Jackson Street has been a small, but significant alternative performance and music venue in Knoxville's Old City. Each one of their events, whether it be music, performance or visual art, has been a creative opportunity for a printer. From notorious local printshops, such as Yee-Haw Industries, to musicians with rub-on letters and access to a copy machine, the Pilot Light has generated years of printed matter. Over the years University of Tennessee Printmakers have performed in and frequented the joint. During the conference there will be the following special events at the Pilot Light:
Wednesday March 18: “Dance Floor Demos”
starts at 10pm
Hosted by Sarah Shebaro and Bryan Baker, this competitive event bridges the gap between the edition and the booty shake. The event needs a group of qualified printmakers/music/dance aficionados to decide who is crowned champion of the "Dance Floor Demos." Judges will be selected based on their specific area of print media expertise and selection of tracks that get them moving in the print shop. To submit, please email the title and artist of three songs as well as a brief written paragraph explaining what makes you an ideal judge of the Dance Floor Demos.
Please email requested materials to dancefloordemos@gmail.com.
