I’m really excited to be a part of the first class of participants in the Theoroi Project, an initiative developed by the Schubert Club where 26 individuals ages 21-35 attend local arts performances over the next year. The responsibility of the Theoroi Project participants is to not only engage with the artists, participants, and performances, but then to use social media to spread the word about the experience.

The project was created by former Schubert Club executive director Kathleen van Bergen and board member Matt Zumwalt, and aims to engage a diverse group of people who share a common interest in the arts. The Schubert Club coordinates the year-long program with a grant from the Knight Foundation.

I will be using this tumblog along with my Twitter and Facebook accounts to publish my thoughts on the performances.
