Last November we gathered for the first installment of all-student presentations at Olio and had some great speakers, so we’ll do it again this year! You may have a fun project in the works (Yay for process!), have a favorite project that you’d like to share, or have an interesting side project or competition entry: share it with us at the CCDC CitySpace on Friday, November 12th at 8pm. You can use it as your dry-run for finals!

Time: Friday, November 12th, 8-10pm
Location: CCDC Cityspace, 100 5th Street NE (Downtown Mall) Charlottesville

As always, Olio is free and open to the public.

Coming up in two weeks!

The Piedmont Council of the Arts (PCA) and Olio will join together in a unique partnership for the 9th edition of Olio Night.

This joint event features short presentations by 10 area arts organizations, providing a special platform for each to share their mission and programs. This forum is meant to enable community members to make connections and access a network of arts resources.

The ten organizations include: Ash Lawn Opera, The Bridge PAI, Heritage Theatre Festival, Light House, Live Arts, Music Resource Center, Performers Exchange Project, Second Street Gallery, UVA Art Museum, & WriterHouse.

The event will be held on Friday September 24th from 8-10pm at the CCDC Cityspace, 100 5th Street NE on the downtown mall. An after party will also be held at a location on the mall.
For information on the PCA and its mission, visit charlottesvillearts.org.

Heads up on the next Olio: It will be held on the 24th of September at the CCDC. More details soon as they are fleshed out!

I can only say that if the weather stays this nice (High Temperature: 77° F) we have a great summer in store! Starting off the season I present to you Olio 8. The next installment will be at the CCDC Cityspace (downtown mall) on Friday, June 25th, 8pm. More details will follow shortly, but in the meantime, check it out on Facebook.

The 7th Edition of Olio kicks off Architecture Week 2010 on Friday April 23rd, 7pm at the CCDC! This edition will have a nice twist – the speakers have been challenged to address the concept of emergence. We’ll see where they take it.

Stay tuned for more details.

A little more than a year ago I suggested the idea for Olio to my wife over dinner. She responded with loads of support and a small dose of realism; “Perhaps you could start small and hold it in our living room.” Neither of us imagined the hundred plus crowd that arrived at the first event last February… With that in mind I would like to announce the 6th Edition of Olio!
