Flood Mission
Flood Fine Art Center is a non-profit contemporary art institution dedicated to advancing the careers of emerging and mid career artists, as well as educating the public and furthering the understanding of contemporary art and its importance within the community and beyond. We aim to provide a stimulating environment for artists so that they will successively enlighten, challenge, inspire, and elevate awareness for the necessity of art in contemporary culture.
Flood Fine Art Center seeks to be a vital cultural resource for Asheville through providing funding and space for innovative local and national artists as well as curators who stretch boundaries in all media. Through our extensive exhibition schedule, residency program, educational activities, presentations and publications we aim to serve a diverse audience that will in turn enhance quality of life and provide opportunities and experiences that would otherwise be unavailable.
Asheville, April 19, 2008. 7:00pm:
Flood Gallery Fine Art Center is proud to announce its first 2008 SONIC EXPERIENCE by local favorite, The Ballerman Trio. Flood Gallery's SONIC EXPERIENCE Series, slated for every third Friday or Saturday of the month, will take place on the second floor of Phil Mechanic Studios building located on the corner of Roberts St. and Clingman Ave. in the Asheville River Arts District. Doors open at 6:30pm with The Ballerman Trio starting at 7:00pm. Admission is $10 and refreshments will be available in the gallery.
The Ballerman Trio
The Ballerman Trio is a professional three piece Neo-Jazz group based in Asheville, North Carolina. The Trio consists of Galen Bremer (guitar), Myk Baldridge (drums), and Jonah Freedman (bass), who play an Afro-Funk Jazz beat that lends itself well to dancing. Each of these musicians play multiple gigs a week in a number of different groups, which has allowed them to perfect their Jazz playing skills. They are passionate about their study and practice of Jazz, and it is quite evident through their playing styles. During their performances most people find themselves inspired to dance to the Afro-Latin Jazz beat they craft, and dancing is not only allowed but also encouraged.
