Artown After Dark

Artown After Dark is a music and art series that occurs throughout the month of July as part of Artown. This music and art series takes place well into the evening, after most Artown events have wrapped up, and features all local talent, with local bands and DJs paired with local artists to cross-promote the arts and music.

The music and art series takes place on the last four Friday nights of July at different venues and at different times around town.

Last year, the art and music series was held at West Street Market in conjunction with 100.9 KRZQ. This year, Artown After Dark will rotate to three different venues, providing more opportunities for artists to exhibit their work at locations across town, and is presented with Noisy Planet. As an online music community that helps artists in every corner of the world connect with fans and colleagues, Noisy Planet is dedicated to creating the easiest way for independent artists and bands to post and sell music online.

Every performing artist and band involved in the Artown After Dark art and music series will get a premium artist package, which includes their dedicated showcase page on Noisy Planet, a personalized URL so that fans can easily find the artist, one album uploaded to iTunes and top retailers, plus 100 guaranteed spins on internet radio.

Bands and artists will also get a supply of personalized 4”x6” postcards that can be handed out at work, school, or at gigs to help promote the artists’ presence on Noisy Planet.
