We got to perform for Art Sip 2014 - an event at the Something Special Antiques garden in Meridian, Idaho. Beside a huge, historic home that has been converted to an antiques shop, tables and canopies were set up in the grassy yard. There, guests could purchase a ticket and enjoy a silent art auction, food and wine by local artisans, a chalk art contest, skits from members of a local theater company, and of course, music from Prism.
We played from 6-9 with the occasional break for snacks, announcements, and for the theater group's dramatic reading of a portion of Charlotte's Web.

In the 95 degree heat, we had to re-tune often (since temperature very strongly affects string instruments). But, we soldiered on and had a wonderful time. A few people even danced to our music...
Since our last gig, the backyard wedding, included a lot of fun, well-known songs, we played many of the same tunes. However, we also added some other fun pieces, like Music of the Night/Phantom of the Opera, The Pirates of the Caribbean, and a charming rag called Country Club.
For more information about the new Meridian Arts Foundation, visit their website at http://meridianartsfoundation.blogspot.com/. They also work closely with the Meridian Arts Commission, and are working hard to grow their organization so they can help more people access great art, music, and theater events in Meridian. They also fundraise so that they can soon provide grants to great arts programs or groups who need support from the community.
Visit them, or Something Special Antiques, and to support the arts in Meridian!
