FLUX Projects brings free concert to Midtown

A free outdoor concert is bringing live trumpet and DJ beats, how about that, to Midtown this evening. Tiffany Good and DJ MetaSpin are teaming up at the 10th Street Park. It's a 10th and Peachtree from 5 to 7, the perfect day for this, the perfect evening. And our Eli Jordan is in his hat, and he's joining us with a preview. Hey, Eli. Hey, good morning, Eli. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking forward to the performance this evening, and hopefully we'll get a little sample later on in our later shows. But right now, this is a Flux project, and Flux likes to bring temporary art projects to Atlanta and, you know, make Atlanta more of a metropolitan feel. You know, you walk around, you've got some entertainment, not just people busking, asking for spare change, but actual performances, pop-up performances is what I call them. And we've got that happening here at the corner of 10th Street and Peachtree. I'll show you where we are. This is real close to right across the street from the Federal Reserve. So, you know, they've got the dog park right behind me here. but this is corner of 10th Street and they're going to be set up right here. Tiffany Good and DJ Meta Spin, but with me right now is the executive director of Flux Projects, Danny Ten. Hey, Anne, how are you doing? Hey, Eli, thanks for having me out. Thanks for coming out. So tell me a little bit about the performance tonight coming up. So it's a free performance. It's open to everybody. So come out, bring a blanket, hang out on the lawn and listen to the performance. um tiffany good is an amazing trumpeter and she's going to be joined by dj metaspin it's going to be a performance that blends genres um regardless of where you're in the music field um i think you're going to find something that you love and they're just amazing performers so it's going to be very easy approachable and a fun way to spend five minutes or two hours with us before the movie this evening. I'm sure it's going to be a toe tap and head bopping good time and jamming. But what is it? So you guys, I guess, lack of a better term, sponsoring them. You commission them. Yes. And that's Flux Projects. Yes. What does Flux Projects do exactly? So Flux Projects commissions temporary public art projects that connect people, reimagine places, and hopefully provide new ways to experience one another so we feel that by putting art in daily life and bringing people together for an emotional experience you see the city differently but you also um it it it enriches your attachments to the city it fosters civic pride you guys have been doing this for about 16 years yeah for 16 years we've done a myriad of things across the city and what you're seeing tonight is the most recent in a series we've been doing called small moments of happiness and last year we looked around at what we thought was needed most in the city and decided it was joy and that we had so much coming to us all the time from every direction and what flux projects could do is just provide a moment for you to stop during your daily life to experience something fun and engaging put a smile on your face along with your co-workers your friends or complete strangers and so we got um tiffany good yeah dj uh mattis spin mattis spin coming out here and then later on they're gonna be showing wicked out here on the lawn is movie night with the midtown alliance you guys are partnering up but you guys like i said they're not out here working for tips or anything you guys paid them commissioned them flux projects is a 501c3 correct correct we're a non-profit arts organization and all of our work is really comes from artist ideas we take a lot our cues from what artists are doing believing that if they're interested in something then we all need to be paying better attention and so this this series really struck a chord with artists and we also believe that if an artist is coming out to do something for us they're getting paid so that is not to say don't go online and support our work we're online at fluxprojects.org you can also find these artists they are often performing in clubs or at venues where you can support their work directly tiffany's also an amazing um composer and i can listen to some of that online as well tell me your website one more time fluxprojects.org fluxprojects.org if you want to donate or if you want to participate that's where to go flux projects and you can also find us on social at flux projects awesome and dennington's executive director of flux projects and flux projects.org that i believe they're coming out here at least uh we get tiffany good out here getting ready to uh start setting up her gear and uh so uh we'll have some more stuff later on but i'm real excited to check it out and uh see what kind of jams we're going to be having later on today and then officially starts at 5 p.m and wraps up at 7 but come on out here at the intersection of peach tree and 10th back to you 10th street park pretty cool and the perfect day like we mentioned for this as well eli thank you so much we'll see you a little bit later today
