Save the Arts (and the Anorexics)
Posted by Dawn Morgan on Wed, Oct 17, 2007 at 4:55 PM
Channelside’s attempt to Save the Arts (a fundraiser for Visual Arts for Students with Disabilities, the Education Channel and Gala Corina) this weekend looks to be a success. Adam Rose, the event’s creator and GM of Channelside IMAX, put the attendance at around 4000 throughout the day and the estimated net (from a Bennigan's donation and StA T-shirt sales) at $8,000. He also pointed out that several groups approached him to make the event an annual occurrence, and plans are in the works to absorb the film festival of the newly impoverished Ed Channel into the next StA. (Their Independent’s Film Festival, which happened in September, screened at Channelside.)
The locale, however, was less than ideal. On Saturday night Channelside was the eye of a meat market hurricane — frat boys and hot chicks swirled about as funky models and out-of-place creative types descended on the downtown Tampa nightspot. It was hard to tell if people were there for the arts, or because Channelside was their usual game. Auditorium frontman (and fellow Creative Loafer) Joran Oppelt, a self-proclaimed “jaded, bitter musician,†played late in the evening and couldn’t argue with the good attendance numbers. “At least there were people there,†he said. “[It was] smarter than doing it at a theatre and no one showing up.†But if the bodies aren’t paying attention, is art really being saved?
After watching the fashion show by Aleka Phoenix, Ivanka Ska, and (2007 Best of the Bay's best designer) Ben Chmura, I literally had to run to Tampa Theatre (well, you know, park then run) to catch the screening of Itty Bitty Titty Committee at the second-to-last night of the Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (just renamed the Clip Film Festival, by the way; their new logo will be unveiled early next year). The screening brought out between 700-800 people, mostly women.
Pass the celery stalks, please.
