Tips for a creative weekend
Cyberspace is buzzing, here’s V11’s collection of things to keep you creative this weekend.
20.03.2020The world is ill and needs to recover. While physical presence has hit pause for now, cyberspace is buzzing & bringing people together through arts and culture. We keep seeing comforting gestures and messages all around, which is heartwarming. It’s important to stay connected with one another and keep sharing positive vibes and occurences. Here are nice things we came across to stay active the upcoming few days:
Support Independent Artists
With the live music scene on hold, Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share on all sales for 24h in order to “put much needed money directly into artists’ pockets 💕 We kindly urge everyone in a position to help others to do so. Artists whose shows we were forced to postpone or cancel include Las Kellies, Odd Couple, Paksoi, Cable Ties, Juanfer Marrero Group, PAX the Humanoid, Quarantine Beach, Braids, Erwin Leon, Nap Eyes, Naive Set, The Policy, Manos, Pildrin, Coilguns… Check our agenda for the new show dates.
