XPN Music Film Festival 2012

XPN, 88.5FM Philadelphia, will present a Music Film Festival this weekend April 26th - 29th. It's a festival dedicated to movies about music.  It's not on their website, but on the station today, they have been calling this the "1st annual" festival.  It would be great if this is presented every year.

More information regarding the festival can be found here: XPN Music Film Festival

Below are trailers of movies featured at the festival I found to be most interesting.

Hoboken 3rd Sundays

HOBOKEN'S MONTHLY GALLERY WALK, 3RD SUNDAYS 2PM - 6PM

A new monthly gallery walk kicked off Sunday, April 15th, 2012.  There were 7 galleries and 3 framing stores which participated.  There is a guided tour which splits up the spaces to cover half of the galleries in April and half in May.

I am hoping to get to most galleries and chronicle my experiences here. 

For more information regarding the gallery walk go to:

In April, I made it over to hob'art.  At the studio was about 18 pieces of art by 3 different artists. One of the artists was present and was very happy to talk about her work. 

Their website is below and the gallery seems to have a lot of interesting openings and events going on.  I will try to find out more regarding the gallery's events and will post it when the information is available.
