1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:10,960 Get Commander, don't get Supremelina mag So coming. We have my old friend 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,480 Derek Smith is here. Hello Derek, I'm nice to see you and and 3 00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:21,480 you brought Nick and Chloe here with you. Welcome, nice to be here, 4 00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:26,239 Thanks for having us. And I gotta turn those mics. I'm getting 5 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,800 used to getting used to the new mics here, the new setup. Turn 6 00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:34,479 you guys up a little bit there. So now, obviously I've known Derek 7 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,880 for like twenty years, but uh, who are who are the two of 8 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,840 you? Who are Nick and Chloe? Well, my name is Cloe Schottmeyer, 9 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,799 and Nick and I are both representatives and board members of a really cool 10 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,920 space that's kind of coming up and coming here in Manchester. Yes, y, 11 00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:59,640 yes, it's called the Mosaic Arts Collective, located at sixty six Hanover 12 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,599 Street, right next to the Palace Theater and a couple other really important Hanover 13 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:11,760 Street entities. We are more than just a gallery. We do have gallery 14 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,959 space where lots of local artists are exhibiting over the last year and it's been 15 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,920 really fulfilling to see these local artists come from all over New Hampshire and beyond 16 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,359 New Hampshire to come show their work of all levels in the space. But 17 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,560 one of the cool things about Mosaic is that it's not just a gallery. 18 00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:41,079 It is also a studio space and a workshop space and a classroom and a 19 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,079 collective for all of the arts community of Manchester to kind of share and come 20 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,760 together. And yeah, and that's artists that are just starting out, that's 21 00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:59,359 established artists. We do art calls so like anyone can enter and join a 22 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:04,840 show and show what they have. Okay, sorry, okay, I forgot 23 00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:07,520 I muted my mic for a second. Yeah, I'm still getting used to 24 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,719 the new the new set up here. Yeah, Jenny and I have been 25 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,280 there, so we've been there twice now. We were there for the show, 26 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:19,680 uh there for a concert. Yeah, who was who was? I 27 00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,879 forget who was playing that night? Derek will remember. It was back in 28 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,960 December. Yeah, yeah, and that was the first one. Had Evan 29 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,360 Benoit Happy just to see you and the DJ Visa from Portland, Maine. 30 00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:36,879 Yeah yeah, yeah, he was great. Well, both both of them 31 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:39,199 were really good. And then we were there a number of weeks ago for 32 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:46,639 the U during the daytime as a presentation of talk on AI in Art many 33 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,639 different forms, which was really interesting. Yeah. I really learned a lot 34 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,319 about AI that I did not know before, So it was a great talk. 35 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,120 Yeah, and I know they have more things like that coming up. 36 00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:05,919 And tonight we're gonna go see Abner the Second Yes and Regal Yes. Regals. 37 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,879 Yeah, forgive me, I forgot to put the s on. Yeah, 38 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:10,120 I was checking out the checking them out last night. I was really 39 00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:14,560 enjoying their music. So I'm looking forward to seeing them live tonight. And 40 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,800 the space is so uniquely cool in that the Misaic are collective. When you 41 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,400 walk in, it's just it's art. You walk into this this really amazing 42 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:29,400 space that has different different people's work, different types of talents, different types 43 00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:32,919 of textures and styles, and then you have this warm room in the middle 44 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,439 where the music is and everybody can gather and and then there's a lot of 45 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,280 artist spaces there. They're beautiful. It's just a really uniquely cool place, 46 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,840 that little little diving in the rough of the city that even once you know 47 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:51,560 it's there, yeah, you're right right, Yeah, it is sort of 48 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,199 set up. We are located on the second floor, so we are a 49 00:03:55,199 --> 00:04:00,319 little kind of set back and a little hidden there. Yeah, but it 50 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,360 is a diamond when you when you first walk in, and the space has 51 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:11,120 served a numerous amount of purposes for many artists and creative in Manchester over the 52 00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,959 last year plus. I love that you guys have been into shows and seeing 53 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,160 some of our music that's happened so far. That's really exciting. Yeah, 54 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,879 yeah, yeah, no, we fell in love really quickly. Yeah, 55 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,800 absolutely, no, very cool place. Now. So so the two of 56 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,560 you, Nick and Chloy, so you're both on the board. Corrects correct? 57 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,800 Now? How did so? How did this get started? How did 58 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,639 the art collective get started? So it started back in August. They did 59 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,839 a show called Full Circle and it was kind of, like I said, 60 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,480 an art call so local artists could participate. My friend Cassie has sent me 61 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,800 a link and I entered and I met Liz when I dropped off, and 62 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,759 it was just extremely warm and welcome. You just walk in and you just 63 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,120 kind of feel like comfortable, and it's just kind of been like that all 64 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,079 year. And it's Snowball and now we're a nonprofit with the board which we 65 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:10,399 joined, and it's it's just a nice spot for people to show this art 66 00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:15,439 that are local and right now there's a show called this is Us plus some, 67 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,360 So the board members brought in a guest each to show some art that 68 00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:24,279 are like local leaders in the in the area. Yeah, really all of 69 00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:30,800 New England, but mostly local to the after Okay, I assume you know 70 00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:34,360 we we always talk Jenny and I talked about talk about this on the show 71 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,439 quite a bit, you know, because we have a lot of musicians on. 72 00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:42,680 We're always talking about how it's amazing how much local talent there is and 73 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,399 and you would you know, you almost and I assume it's not obviously it's 74 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:50,360 not unique to to this area any anywhere. Really, you know, there's 75 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,639 you're gonna find a lot of music, local musicians in your area who are 76 00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:01,639 doing really great stuff. And I don't think people who aren't paying attention realize 77 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,879 just how much talent there is going on around them that they're not aware of 78 00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:11,160 unless they're actually taking the time to investigate and go out to see shows or 79 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,000 go just go online and find what local musicians are doing. I assume it's 80 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:18,759 the same with art, right, that there's just all this talent all around 81 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:24,000 us that unless you're really kind of tuned in and paying attention, you don't 82 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,240 even you don't even know that it's there unless you at least put in the 83 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,480 effort to, you know, to check out a place like Mosaic and explore. 84 00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:34,399 Yeah. Absolutely, Mosaic was the first place that I ever showed. 85 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,040 I had no idea. I've lived in New Hampshire for ten years now, 86 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,519 so yeah, it's like I had no idea that everyone was around here doing 87 00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:47,079 this much. It's a community I just was oblivious to. Yeah, so 88 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,040 it's really cool just to see and meet all these people over the year, 89 00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:55,519 and it felt like years really wouldn't been one year, so it's like this 90 00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:58,759 place is just kind of blown up in Manchester. Yeah, that's really cool 91 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:01,160 that that was your first I talked to Liz, and at some point, 92 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,920 when I get daring enough, i'll submit something. But I like hearing that 93 00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:08,439 you did it for the first time and then here you are, So that's 94 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:14,759 awesome, encouraging, it's encouraging. What goes into that is showing? Is 95 00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:18,759 that the right term? Show? Exhibitioning? Showing? Yeah? Like what 96 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,319 goes into that? So it is, uh, it's a team effort. 97 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:29,920 So this this current show that we have up was a little bit of a 98 00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,959 different structure. It was an invitation structure, so that was a little bit 99 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,560 different. We reached out to artists and invited them to come into the space 100 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,079 and show. Typically, we run a open call every month, and for 101 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,279 an open call, anybody is welcome to enter, and we love that everybody 102 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,399 does. Yeah, and we like when you say everybody, like how many 103 00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:57,879 people doesn't end up being Oh, it depends. So some of the things 104 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,959 that might dictate who enters a show are We try to assign a theme to 105 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,079 each month that might be relevant to something that's happening in the month, or 106 00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:13,000 relevant to our own timeline as a gallery. So I think different themes attract 107 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:20,399 different kinds of artists and attract different kinds of work. So, for example, 108 00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,120 in October, this most recent October, we did the Never More show, 109 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,639 and I think Halloween is a very popular thing for artists. I can 110 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,159 imagine. Yeah, yeah, we had just an influx of just amazing work, 111 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:43,240 all inspired by spooky October things. Yes, and that was on the 112 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,720 flip end, you know. Then the board has to get together and review 113 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:52,480 all these submissions and make selections. And once we have that list of work 114 00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:56,840 that's selected to make it into the show, then we have to hang it 115 00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:00,480 on the wall. Yeah. Yeah, so that has always been fun. 116 00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:05,399 And I think I can speak for more than just myself when I say the 117 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,559 hanging parties that we do at Mosaic have been a really huge team building experience 118 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,720 for the step or those of us that are involved with that process. We 119 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,159 have really had every month just this wonderful point to come together, touch touch 120 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:31,000 base, kind of collaborate on on this on this show. That's gonna mean 121 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,720 something to everyone, not just us, and it's it provides all of us 122 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,960 such a such a great feeling of fulfillment and happiness, and we all walk 123 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,519 away from those days, those evenings feeling really uplifted, and you know, 124 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:50,480 I think recognizing what this was all about in the first place, Liz moved. 125 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,000 Liz is the owner and founder of Mosaic, and she moved back into 126 00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:01,360 this area to hooks the area after living in Vermont for quite a while. 127 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,600 And I think her time in Vermont, she found that there was a really 128 00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:11,960 thriving, collaborative, local arts community and when she moved back to this space, 129 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:18,240 was sort of surprised to see a different environment in this space. And 130 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:26,039 I think she saw identified and then executed the need to produce a space where 131 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:35,080 the local artists here in Manchester could come and really live up to what some 132 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,480 of the other like small local art communities in the in the US are doing 133 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:46,240 all around us. And it's sort of collected and organized that effort into one 134 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,559 space. And seeing that come to fruition over the last year has been I 135 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:56,720 think to knixt point, it's felt like a decade, not just a year. 136 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,440 You know, we've gained a decades worth of friends and met a decades 137 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,720 worth of people all in the last year, and network and inspiration and collaboration, 138 00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,919 all of that and last year it's mind blowing to think how much has 139 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,440 happened, no doubt. It's interesting how people can interact with the artists more 140 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,320 here too, where it is a local collective of artists, you have the 141 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,799 opportunity to speak to the artists or get closer to them than you would in 142 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,120 a large gallery situation where you might see their name but you wouldn't even know 143 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,679 what they look like. Yeah, here the artists can be more more in 144 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:35,519 touch or they're more reachable. I'm curious too about the submission, because you're 145 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,840 talking about like the board, you've got to review all the submissions And is 146 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:46,000 that a difficult process because I would imagine because obviously art, any kind of 147 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:52,799 art, is subjective, and so I would imagine there's some disagreement right about, 148 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,639 you know, like someone might like something and someone else will say, 149 00:11:54,639 --> 00:12:00,320 no, we can't know, yeah exactly. I mean you have three of 150 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,360 us try to do it at a time so that you know, there's a 151 00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:07,279 tiebreaker vote type of thing. Okay, that's smart, so you know, 152 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,360 like if it was one person, it's going to be pretty biased. But 153 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,159 if you have three people doing it, then it's like two people could agree 154 00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:18,360 and one guy's like maybe iffy about it, or like two people could kind 155 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,320 of be iffy about it, and then you have the third person say, 156 00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:24,799 actually, yeah, that's like why not bring that in and that type of 157 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,360 thing. Like, so it is a collaborative effort, like with everything. 158 00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:31,519 So like judging a show, hanging a show, like Chloe said, we 159 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:37,559 all show up and kind of take a wall and hang the show, and 160 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:43,159 then we also have the openings like where you can meet the artists because most 161 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,399 of them show up. So it's like you can just go to an opening 162 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,200 and see something on the wall and the person standing right there to talk to. 163 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:54,600 So yeah, very cool. Yeah, there's lots of checks and balances 164 00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:58,480 and how we make those selections. And I think one of the core elements 165 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,120 that we keep in mind when we're making them is the mission of Mosaic, 166 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:11,799 which is to help build and nurture and influence the growth of one's practice in 167 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,919 a safe place. So when we're making these selections, we're keeping in mind 168 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:24,320 that this is not just about what is the internationally technically good like museum artwork. 169 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,039 This is about real art. This is about community art, This is 170 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,200 about self expression, and this is about being supported in that. Yeah, 171 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,279 yeah, excellent. And now, Derek, how did you get involved? 172 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,679 Obviously you you know you've been You've been booking the music and you you and 173 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,919 I have known each other for a long time in the in the music industry. 174 00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:50,440 We used to do Jenny's heard this of course, but you know, 175 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:54,360 back in the day, we used to book a lot of shows and you 176 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,480 introduced me to well, you know, we were sort of half kidding at 177 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,639 the UH at the that Jenny and I went to that. You know, 178 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,799 Acacia Strain. They owe all their success to us because we booked them on 179 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,960 a show. I'm honestly surprised they're still the band, they are still around. 180 00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:15,159 Well, you know, they had a great start because we booked them. 181 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,720 I don't we paved the way, That's right, They all all it 182 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,279 all to us. But yeah, so how did you get involved in the 183 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:31,840 collective? Once I moved back earlier last year and in the spring, I 184 00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:35,840 reached out to Liz. I was just looking for some sort of outlet because 185 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,159 I had initially won to start a gallery collective of my own in the city 186 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:48,600 here when I lived here, you know, ten plus years ago, and 187 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:56,480 that never materialized. So I started. I started my online gallery artists only, 188 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,879 and you know, I've just hosted a bunch of artists throughout the country 189 00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:09,799 and international, but I still wanted a physical space because the idea was always 190 00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:15,879 to include a monthly showcase of performers. And I reached out to her to 191 00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:20,919 see if she was open to the idea, and she was, so I 192 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,759 met with her, went over some logistics and and we you know, that 193 00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,399 was in the fall that I met her initially, and we had the first 194 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:37,320 show, as you mentioned, in December. So yeah, it's just gonna 195 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,240 we're gonna try to keep doing them, are you still doing your online gallery 196 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:48,840 periodically, not as regularly as it had been, but yeah, it used 197 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:56,519 to be a more full web page. Now it's it's solely structured to Instagram, 198 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:03,600 so that artists only. A oh okay, okay, what goes into 199 00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:07,840 that an online gallery? I mean, do people contact you and say I'd 200 00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:14,240 like to feature? How does that work? I don't get contacted so much 201 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,080 as I network with the artists. I'll reach out to someone i'd like to 202 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:29,000 feature. Also, it's it's nonprofit, so I'll just also sometimes repost various 203 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,120 artists work and give them the credit. Yeah. Yeah, what was your 204 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:38,240 Instagram page? It's artists only and then the abbreviation AO at the end. 205 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,720 And now for the music, are you booking all the music at the at 206 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:49,200 Mosaic? Is that that's all you at the moment? Yeah? Yeah, 207 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,639 I mean I know it's relatively new still, but right. Yeah. So 208 00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:00,000 this is the the second one tonight. I already have the one set up 209 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,519 up for next month, will be on the seventeenth. It's going to be 210 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:11,079 more of an electronic night with two solo electronic artists, another one from Portland, 211 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:18,160 Maine, Gibbs Freelance and I try to have a local support as an 212 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:26,640 opener for draw and that's going to be Danny Kemp's Anny Camps. Yeah, 213 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:34,119 he does kind of like he plays guitar and bass, but he also misses 214 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,559 around with sense. How do you how do you figure out who would be 215 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:44,880 a good fit? I mean, is there do you do the musicians that 216 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,279 you're booking, do they have to kind of fit a do you have a 217 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:52,279 certain criteria in mind in terms of who would you know because it's not obviously 218 00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,640 at a place like Mosaic, it's you know, you want to have artists, 219 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,160 musicians who are gonna fit the vibe. I mean, do you is 220 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,839 that a big part of the process in terms of figuring out who to who 221 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:14,319 to book there? Somewhat? Yeah, I mean I'll I'll try to have 222 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,079 it, you know, be some sort of complimentary in a sense, but 223 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,960 I'm all for diversity as well, so maybe in shows to come it'll be 224 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,160 more of a an abstract bill. Yeah, yeah, I mean that, 225 00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:37,319 you know, when we were there that night, I mean that that seemed 226 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,200 perfect, you know, that seems like just the perfect fit for for that, 227 00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:45,559 you know, and it's such a it's such an amazing space. You're 228 00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:52,319 sitting in the middle of all this beautiful art and the space is so it's 229 00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:55,119 yeah, God, I'm looking for a word that's not coming to me. 230 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,440 Huh, intimate, intimate. That is exactly what I was looking for. 231 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,440 You're and the sound is just really great with the musicians. I'm telling you, 232 00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:07,359 it's totally worth going there to listen to the music. It's just such 233 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,599 a great space to be in. It's more personable. You know, the 234 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,400 artist is right there, not H'm teen feet away from you or what have 235 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,359 you. Yeah, yeah, no, I really am. I've already written 236 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,119 it down February seventeenth, got that February seventeenth, after tonight will be the 237 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,839 next music night, so I'll have that DOWNE love to actually keep in touch 238 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,279 and bring musicians that you have, bring them to our listeners. If we 239 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:34,960 haven't beat you to the punch we already had yeah yeah, yeah, I 240 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:41,960 mean if they're available or before the show on some Saturday and we start to 241 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,400 see a lot of wonderful musicians. If you ever need anybody, please don't 242 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,880 hesitate. I love recommendations that come in and go out. So thanks for 243 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,359 that. Absolutely, absolutely, I really am excited about tonight's show too. 244 00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:59,839 Regals is a new to me, never heard of them before the and I'm 245 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,400 really interesting sound. I really enjoyed we were listening last night because I was 246 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,880 just playing. I always play something I have tonight, so I always have 247 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,799 something in the room going on. Really great sound, really great. They 248 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:18,359 started as a three piece and I first saw them perform over at two Shared 249 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:26,240 Okay, and they've expanded to a fuller band. Ryan Egan, who leads 250 00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:33,440 the band, has been in former Manchester bands before Happy Just to See You 251 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,960 were that band. It was Bad Fellows and he played drums with them, 252 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,079 and it was also in a band called Pleasure Gap Okay. But he's been 253 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:48,640 a Manchester staple for you know, ten plus years. And this city has 254 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,319 a lot of arts, a lot of amazing artists. I didn't realize how 255 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,119 much until last year when we've really started concentrating hard on bringing in more musicians 256 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,599 and more artists. This city is with incredible talent. It's just amazing to 257 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,319 me what we have in this city. You think New Hampshire kind of a 258 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,119 small state. We can fit your whole state inside of New York as far 259 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,519 as people go. But we really are very blessed with a lot of amazing 260 00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:19,079 talent and different genres, all kinds of genres. If you ever want to 261 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,519 try out a new genre, a small venue like this is absolutely perfect to 262 00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:29,000 go listen to something you haven't seen before, like Abner two or the second 263 00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:32,960 Abner the Second. I never know which way to go either or I think, 264 00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:37,119 really he's amazing. He uses a viola and does this looping technique and 265 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,359 the music he creates, and I love his voice. The songs he creates 266 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,279 are absolutely awesome. It was funny because Matt's been playing him for a very 267 00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:48,000 long time before we ever had him on as a guest, and we finally 268 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,079 got him on as a guest, and I got the joy of sitting there 269 00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:56,200 going We've been playing you for years. Him being on this show was actually 270 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,839 how I realized that Matt had started a radio show. Oh no, kidds. 271 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,079 I was still in Austin, Texas at the time, and I saw 272 00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:08,200 Zach Abner post about it. Oh cool, yeah, cool, the small 273 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,839 world comes around. That's good to hear. So now, so what does 274 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,759 the future hold for Mosaic? I mean, is is there kind of a 275 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:21,200 long term plan as far as continuing to expand what you're doing, or we 276 00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:26,960 have some really exciting stuff that you know is maybe potentially hanging in our future, 277 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,720 but some of the more kind of immediate moments that we'd really love to 278 00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:37,319 see the community show up and support, and is of course our music night 279 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,880 tonight, and so doors will open at seven pm. Okay, it is 280 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:48,640 a twenty one plus show, but we will be having refreshments by donation and 281 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,640 live music, and we expect the show will run through about ten pm. 282 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,039 Okay, this evening cool, So feel free to stop by between seven and 283 00:22:57,079 --> 00:23:00,839 ten and come check us out and see what the game he has to offer. 284 00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:06,160 Jenny and I will be there. Absolutely. Are you an artist? 285 00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:11,759 Do you want to be on? Absolutely? Now. In the course of 286 00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:15,319 the collective, you guys operate mostly on donation, right, correct, So 287 00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:22,039 we are a nonprofit, so we really do rely on support from our community 288 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:27,200 by donation and also by showing up and being in the shows. Right. 289 00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:33,079 Submitting it feels like really cheap, isn't it like ten dollars? I think 290 00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:37,240 ten to fifteen dollars. Yeah, it's very accessible. That's our aim and 291 00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:41,160 our goal is to keep it that way. You can take a chance without 292 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:47,079 losing your grocery bill, which I think that's it makes it all the more 293 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,200 accessible to everybody, Right, you don't have to be somebody with a whole 294 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,920 lot of money to try and buy your way in through a gallery. You 295 00:23:53,920 --> 00:24:00,480 your donation is helping to fund this beautiful space for local artists, which people 296 00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:04,039 know. Matt and I are huge on supporting all local artists and he can't 297 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:08,519 go wrong when you support your community anyway. Yeah, we actually have a 298 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:14,440 sticker to support local art which is three dollars which helps artists with submission fees. 299 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,640 And we also have gift cards done by Jackie Hanson which you can kind 300 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,799 of buy over time if you want to save up for yourself or give it 301 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:27,480 to someone else to buy a piece at the gallery, or you can use 302 00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:33,319 it towards your submission fees for open calls. So the next open call that 303 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,799 we have is all heart statuses for February show. So it can neither be 304 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,880 you know, about your relationship or love for whoever, or it could be 305 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,359 about how love sucks and you can just do something for that. So any 306 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,880 heart status okay, So it doesn't even necessarily have to be love, you 307 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,799 know, it could be any emotion that you feel you need to express. 308 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,640 Oh very good, very good. Oh I like that. Yeah. So 309 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,160 the submission, the submission date is for that. All submissions are due due 310 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,720 by January twenty six at eleven fifty nine pm. So mark that on your 311 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,240 calendars. Okay. So well, if people go to submit, they take 312 00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:15,160 a picture of their work, send it to you with the fee, and 313 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,240 then everybody goes and looks at all the different pieces. And now to people 314 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:26,000 come in with huge paintings teeny tiny paintings, are there size restrictions like or 315 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,200 do you like just send a picture and go, hey, this is what 316 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:33,480 it is. So typically we don't do We don't impose many restrictions because we 317 00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:37,960 want to see what you have. You know, we do have space limitations 318 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,400 obviously that it's not a huge room, but we accept three D artwork, 319 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,359 two D artwork, digital art work, any kind, and the dimensions are 320 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,000 completely ope, I mean only the only limitation we have is can we get 321 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,440 it in the room, right, So it really is open ended and we 322 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,200 encourage everyone to kind of not be constricted in what they're bringing to the table. 323 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,920 Yeah that's awesome. Yeah, Oh I'm glad. I asked that question. 324 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,440 Yeah, that's a great question. We have a couple So Nick mentioned 325 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,440 that we have a gift card done by a local artist, Jackie Hansen, 326 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:19,039 who we've done some incredible workshops with, and she actually has a workshop coming 327 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:25,000 up in the next couple of weeks here and it's actually January twenty fifth. 328 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,880 Okay, it's going to be an eraser workshop. So the gift card that 329 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,519 we have is kind of done in a similar style where she has carved into 330 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:41,480 material to create a stamp and then you know, repeat that artwork, you 331 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,359 know, over and over again as many times as she wants. Interesting. 332 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,759 So that's how our gift cards are made, and so this eraser workshop will 333 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:53,880 be very similar to that in carving into an eraser material, which is very 334 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,599 easy to get accessible. Anybody can find an eraser and then create a stamp 335 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,720 out of it. Yeah, so that will be a really exciting workshop coming 336 00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:07,160 up, and those who are interested in signing up for that, I encourage 337 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,680 checking out our website and getting a slot ahead of time. Now, what 338 00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:15,799 is the cost on that particular workshop. Off the top of my head, 339 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:19,440 I'm actually not one hundred percent sure, but I you know, I'm not 340 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,640 even going to give you an estimated figure because I can't remember off the top 341 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,519 of my head, but it is posted on our website. Okay, okay, 342 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,000 oh, I've set it right here. Actually, the Erase of Print 343 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,480 Marketing workshop that is going to be held on January twenty fifth, arrive at 344 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:38,000 five forty five please, and their address again is sixty six Handover Streets to 345 00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:42,480 a suite two oh one, So thirty five dollars registration fee, which covers 346 00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:47,359 all the supplies that you need to make your own to be able to take 347 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,000 that home. Yeah, very cool. So that will be your very exciting 348 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,279 way to not only support the gallery but also have something that you get to 349 00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:59,119 take home with you to day. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's great 350 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,079 that you're doing something that's not a painting right right, like different? No 351 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:06,720 that I mean, obviously I paint, but everywhere's always a paint for I 352 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,200 want to do something fun, right, something different, something that you can 353 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,359 play with. Yeah, I like that. I like that? And maybe 354 00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:19,880 what else from absolutely ooh, I like the support local artist sticker there, 355 00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:23,079 that's really I love stickers. In case you didn't notice, my laptop is 356 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,160 completely covered, well, you must need one. I must need one. 357 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:32,200 A very fun fact is the artist who created that sticker is actually sitting right 358 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,119 next to me in this room. You. Hey, no, seriously, 359 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,839 I really like this. Yeah, Liz ree Stone asked if we wanted to 360 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,599 do a sticker, and I just kind of came up with something and we 361 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:52,599 went back and forth about it, and we actually used that same design for 362 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:59,359 the we were did that Christmas bread recently and we had a banner on the 363 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,400 side that had the same thing. So that's pretty cool too. Excellent, 364 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,960 excellent. Hey. By the way, this is a little bit not off 365 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,599 topic, but not specifically about the gallery, but I'm just curious do any 366 00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:17,640 of you have any thoughts on because Jenny and I attended that that event that 367 00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:21,119 was at the gallery about AI and art. Do any of you just have 368 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,519 any kind of general thoughts about that or it's kind of a big, big 369 00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:26,599 subject, but it's a broad question, but I'm just curious if if any 370 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:33,720 of you have any thoughts on the matter. Generally, I'm not for AI, 371 00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:37,960 but I can understand its use kind of like I don't know if you're 372 00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:44,079 editing something or something like that, but if you're going from like zero to 373 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,880 an image, I don't necessarily love that use of it. By that, 374 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,920 you mean like if you give it a prompt and create this and create this, 375 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,799 Because I don't know. I I hand draw and I use digital. 376 00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:03,720 I think digital is like the closest they'll get to it. But no, 377 00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:08,160 I understand its uses though, so generally I'm not for it, but I 378 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:14,880 can see how people can use it to enhance whatever they're doing right right or 379 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,039 edit their writing. So say you're like writing. See we were talking about 380 00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:22,599 that before you guys came into the show because I have a book started and 381 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,240 I was coming in hiring. Should I use AI to edit the book or 382 00:30:27,319 --> 00:30:30,519 not? And now I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to. 383 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:34,880 Yeah, But for I was toying with the idea. I mean I talked 384 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,359 it. He did, he talk about of it. He totally talked me 385 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,839 out of it. But I have a unique style of writing anyway. I 386 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,839 don't know that you could fit that into me. I have a little bit 387 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:52,160 of a different perspective on AI. Oh cool. So I'm classically trained as 388 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,559 a photographer, and I think one of the things when AI started coming onto 389 00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:00,519 the scene that I am a just immediate it Lea started thinking, was, 390 00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:06,200 man, this this must must be how painters felt when photography hit the scene, 391 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:12,160 you know, you know, and like just to see the medium gos 392 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:18,359 from you know, you have to at least with photography, you had to 393 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,440 actually go to the place and bring the equipment and put that amount of effort. 394 00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:26,079 And now you can just go type in, make me a picture of 395 00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:32,799 Santorini with a wedding happening, and there it is. You know, you 396 00:31:32,839 --> 00:31:37,440 don't have to be there, so I think, and and similarly to a 397 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,119 painter who used to have to put or still does put hours of time into 398 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,519 accurately translating what they're seeing, and then photography hit the scene and you just 399 00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:49,400 press a button and go about your marry day. Right, yeah, I 400 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,279 can only draw like equations to how that must feel there. Yeah, it 401 00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:56,559 never occurred to me. Yeah, but that's yeah, it's an interesting insight. 402 00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,599 It seems like it might be some kind of natural agression in you know, 403 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:07,400 art and technology that we're experiencing. But it's also I am skeptical too, 404 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880 you know. There there, I think AI can be misused and and 405 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:17,079 I it is also a tool that is dictated by humans still, so it's 406 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,079 depending upon other people's work to draw itself into work, right, It's pulling 407 00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:25,960 from everything else that other people have already done, right, which in a 408 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,960 lot of way doing that right. Right. So, so the only difference 409 00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:37,599 is that it's an artificial intelligence that's drawing inspiration from the world around it rather 410 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:44,559 than an organic intelligence, so which I think see is the reason to be 411 00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:50,960 skeletical. But it is interesting. Yeah, what do you think, Derek. 412 00:32:52,920 --> 00:33:00,680 I think that I'm I'm anti AI in the respect of, you know, 413 00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:07,519 it potentially taking jobs from people, but I believe that there may be 414 00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:16,319 some sort of merit to it in like the medical field. Yeah, it's 415 00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:25,000 they're they're working out ways to allow even like paralyzed people to walk again. 416 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:32,240 Watch some of those videos. There's like sensory mechanisms that they have been implanted 417 00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:39,480 in people that they're able to control remotely and you know, give those sort 418 00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:46,799 of you know, sensory function that the body is supposed to and uh, 419 00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:52,640 you know, it's it's it's still at the beginning stages and the people are 420 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:59,920 are still slow to to get going. But it's yeah, there's it's it's 421 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:05,119 sort of you know, progression in that Field. Yeah, well, it's 422 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,719 funny you mentioned that too, because when we had when we had Conrad War 423 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,599 from the band I don't know if you know the band Be's Deluxe, really 424 00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:15,239 good Boston band, and we were talking about that with him, you remember 425 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,360 this, and he was talking about how, for example, if you're a 426 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,840 medical professional and you're you're trying to find a treatment plan for someone with an 427 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,119 illness, and you can you know, say to AI, you know, 428 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:29,400 give me, give me three treatment plans for this person and describe the person 429 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,599 and and uh, you know, it can save a lot of time and 430 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:39,119 potentially be very useful in a situation like that. So Hanson in in medicine 431 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,800 is just exponentially going. I agree with you. In a lot of different 432 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,079 industries, AI does and will continue to have a great place. But in 433 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,480 art, yeah, that's where you And it's all art, whether it's right, 434 00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:58,440 whether it's music, whether it's print, whether it's writing. It adds 435 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:04,480 a lot of guesswork to authentic or not. So I'll just share briefly my 436 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:12,880 my one experience trying to create visual art using uh Dolly three. I don't 437 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,760 know if any of you have used that at all, but I had to. 438 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,880 We did a segment on the show talking about the Daryl Hall versus John 439 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,960 Oates lawsuit a couple of months ago, and so I I took that segment 440 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,800 and I put it on YouTube, and I needed a thumbnail, and uh, 441 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,880 so I tried, uh using Dolly three to create what I wanted was 442 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,880 to see because I'd seen I'd seen people come up with some pretty good stuff 443 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:43,199 using this, So I wanted an image of Darryl Hall and John Oates in 444 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,440 a boxing ring. And what I learned pretty quickly is it's very resistant. 445 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,760 Two and and we talked about this too at the event that we went to 446 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,480 at most A. Yeah, this came up at the event. I wish 447 00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:57,159 I could remember that who Who's Who's the gentleman's name? By the way, 448 00:35:57,159 --> 00:36:00,840 do you know offhand Carl Carl? I cannot. I have a mental block 449 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,840 with his name. He was very impressive. I liked his presentation. So 450 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,800 we were talking about about this, and I remember telling him I couldn't get 451 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,400 it to do that exactly, and he said, it seems to be the 452 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,199 program seems to be very resistant to the idea, just broadly, of putting 453 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:21,960 celebrities in violent situations. So it wouldn't let me do that. So the 454 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,920 best I was able to get out of it when I tried to make that, 455 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,679 and I did, I did get it to do. Something that I 456 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,719 used for a thumbnail on the YouTube video was Daryl holland John Oates at a 457 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:39,000 plain chess but with angry expressions on their faces. It doesn't quite look like 458 00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:44,760 Darryl holland John Oates, but it looks close enough. But they both look 459 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,079 angry and it's a funny fixture. But that's the only thing I've I've used 460 00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:58,559 it for so far, but that was kind of fun. Well, listen, 461 00:36:58,599 --> 00:37:01,320 we will, uh will begin before we run out of time. I 462 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,599 want to make sure, well, actually, is there anything that we didn't 463 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,079 mention, because I know you had a bunch of things you wanted to mention. 464 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,239 I don't want to leave anything out. I think we got through most 465 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,119 of them. The only one that I and it occurs to me since we're 466 00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:20,639 talking about Carl's talk, we will be having another artist talk at the end 467 00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:27,800 of January. Here on January twenty sixth Okay local photographer Gary Sampson, who's 468 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,639 actually he's the photographer I invited to the This is Us plus some show. 469 00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:38,239 He's been my longtime mentor and professor as a photographer, and he has a 470 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:49,159 really extensive history with Manchester and supporting historical and cultural preservation in Manchester alongside being 471 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,679 also a very prolific artist in his own respect. Oh cool, and he'll 472 00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:58,840 be doing an artist talk on the twenty sixth January twenty six starting at five 473 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,719 forty five pm, So I know many many of the listeners out there may 474 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,599 actually know of Gary and might be interested to see him talk and hear about 475 00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:12,960 his work, So please feel free to register online for that talk as well. 476 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,679 We'd love to see the community show up.
