We need Graffiti!!! 2013 SCYAP Show

Hi all,

I hope the middle of your week is going well! I wanted to mention a really cool organization here in the city called "Saskatoon Community Youth Arts Programming"or SCYAP for short!!!

Over my busy weekend, I was able to go to their graffiti show and meet some really interesting people, who are passionate about being creative! I actually heard about this event, through someone who sat at my table during the Luncheon En Vogue (the weird things that happen to me....). Enjoy the highlights of the event:

Various artists' paintings:

I love the self-portraits of the staff hanging on the wall:

Along with an art gallery viewing there were musical performances! I really liked the Northern Lights! Below are a few members (right to left) Gabrielle, Rory and another guy...but I didn't catch his name:( Their sound is a mix of all different music styles like jazz, folk, pop-rock etc....they play in venues all over Saskatoon, check them out if you have a chance! 

Met some really cool people from North Battleford, SK while listening to great music and watching graffiti artists and of course snacking on fruit hehehehe:

Before and After!

Even a random chess game broke out in between music sets:

Can you see the wedding photo-shoot going on while we're in the alley??? lol

Also SCYAP does drop-in art classes for all ages on Tuesdays/Thursdays 5:30-9pm and also Saturdays from 1-6pm, where you can use their art supplies to create your masterpieces....you might even bump into Lady J there!

What I'm into....Music: Quadron

So for the last couple of weeks I have been loving and I mean LOVING this Danish duo "Quadron". They are a beautiful and intelligent pair that mix a lot of soul and R & B music, with some Euro-techno!!! You got to love that match but I will let them speak for themselves and their music:

In other interviews, they have mentioned how they came up with their band name....The duo mentioned that they are both 1/4 Black since Coco's grandfather is of African-descent and Robin's grandfather is African-American. "Quadroon" as it's spelt in North America is a historical term not used too often and usually individuals are referred to as "bi-racial" and/or "multi-racial". 

Another thing I really adore is Robin's style who always has such a gentlemanly and minimalist look with tailored separates!!! Coco, has so many great retro outfits and funky accessories. She is a curvy girl and working every single angle, it's very refreshing in this weight-obsessed media world we live in! Also her wavy hairstyle really suits her face shape:) 

For more on this up and coming band check out and "like" their Facebook page!

Also their music was the soundtrack to my dinner party in A Wild Night:)
By the way I am curious about the new music that you are into, leave a comment!!!!!

Happy listening xox
