July Creative Salon

 

Sarasota Underground invites you to attend

Our second monthly Creative Salon

Featuring:

Music by Kristopher James – 

From Creative Loafing Tampa

“Touring folk/soul songwriter, calls Florida home. ‘Who is a kindred musical spirit to artists like Gavin DeGraw and Amos Lee, has managed to graduate from the realm of ‘blue eyed’ anything. His guitar work — deceptively complex while still managing to be easy on the ears — is right in harmony and clean in tone. His vocals are perfectly reigned in to suit his range and his easy gift for melody is unrivaled in the Bay area singer-songwriter space Kristopher James is perhaps the most interesting local musician on the scene’ 

Creative Presentation by Nick ODonnell

 

Nick ODonnell is the founder & head designer of his young furniture company, Terraform Design.  Started while in college at FSU, Nick uses a process known as ‘Parametric Design’ to create abstract, geometric, and organic furniture & lighting shapes in 3D space, and manufactures his creations using tools like laser cutting and CNC machining.  He was awarded the “Governor’s Young Entrepreneur Award” this past fall, and has recently spoke at a TEDx conference on the different mindsets that can help anyone with passion for an idea to find ways to see it through.

 

 

 

This modern mixer is intended to showcase local creative talent, present emerging artists, and connect the community creatively.

Each month we’re inviting some of the area’s brightest and most interesting individuals to share their stories, art, and experiences with the community. We’ll start with some music, transition to a couple creative presentations, blend in some bad ass spoken word, and then break back into some mellow music so you can network and interact with Sarasota’s most creative minds.

We’ll update this event listing with speaker details and other event updates, or click the links below to keep up with day to day updates.

RSVP’s are required and donations are appreciated to help offset event costs. Click below for tickets.
