Art for a good cause at Common Grounds
By Carl Hoover
| Friday, April 25, 2008, 04:03 PM
Art in various forms helps a good cause today and Saturday (April 25-26) at Baylor-area coffeehouse Common Grounds, which will host a mural painting, photography show and live music in support of Love, Light & Melody, a ministry helping impoverished children in Nicaragua.
Painting the mural facing Common Grounds’ side patio (and what a great idea) are Kelli Murray and Austin Blasingame, designers with Surf-brand clothing company and design house Jedidiah. They’ll be working today and Saturday.
The photography comes courtesy of Esther Havens, an Austin photographer who’s worked with Love, Light & Melody and its work with the children in Managua City, Nicaragua, who stay alive through what they can find in La Chureca, the city’s trash heap. Havens’ photographs from her trips, plus shots by other artists, will go on display at noon Saturday. Photos from that show will be sold with proceeds benefiting LL&M.
Live music begins at 8 p.m. Saturday with Seth Philpott and Whitney White performing for a $5 cover.
Props to Common Grounds owner Jill Mashburn for her embrace of the arts and how that can be integrated, imaginatively, into helping others.
