Join us on Saturday, June 21 for Artists for Appalachia — a celebration of our 15th anniversary, our annual membership meeting and a special fundraising event. The venue for the evening will be the renowned Jefferson Theater in in Charlottesville, Va. Artists for Appalachia will include traditional mountain music, readings and revelry as we come together to celebrate our past and present work to protect the air, water, land and people of Appalachia and to raise funds to continue our work for years to come. Special guests will include Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Kathy Mattea, Michael Jonathan, Daniel Martin Moore, Clara Bingham and Bill Haney, producer and director of the award winning film “The Last Mountain,” and local Charlottesville folk band favorites, The Honey Dewdrops.
The event is free for current Appalachian Voices members. New and renewing members can join for as little as $35 and receive a ticket to the event and a membership. Reserved seating is available for an extra $15 donation, and VIP seating is available but limited and expected to go quickly — call our Charlottesville office at (434) 293-6373 for details. We look forward to seeing you in Charlottesville to kick off another 15 years of protecting the region we all love.
