DETAIL:

Paul Friedrich and Designbox present the 3rd annual PBR-inspired art show, aptly named “PBaRt Show 3,” on Friday, May 4, 2012. This year’s event will utilize the 300 block of West Martin Street between Dawson and Commerce, and promises to be even bigger and better that it’s past incarnations. Participating venues includeBrewmaster’s Bar & Grill, Designbox, The Visual Art Exchange & 311 Gallery. Designbox will host the “official” PBaRt exhibit, featuring works by Mark Elmore, Rafael Vargas, Victor Knight, Paul Friedrich, Artie Barksdale, Eric Knisley, Sean Kernick, and Pete Sack.

The Raleigh Warehouse District’s newest and, perhaps, most peculiar block-party will start at 6pm and is FREE and open to the public. The NC State radio station, 88.1 WKNC, has planned a fantastic line-up of local Raleigh bands, including:

Oulipo (Indie-psychedelic-pop band) at 7pm

Baobab (Tribal-electro-folk band) headlining at 9pm

Throughout the evening: In between each musical act you can enjoy an eclectic line-up of circus performers, including aerial and fire dancers. Raleigh’s newest creative movement studio and circus school, Cirque de Vol, will showcase their airborne, acrobatic talents at 6:30 and 8pm. At 8:30pm, Raleigh’s self-proclaimed “open-source circus troupe” — circusSPARK — will unleash their Burning-man inspired fire performance. Donations will be collected to benefit circusSPARK, SPARKcon and The Visual Art Exchange.

In addition to the art show, circus entertainment, and live music, there will be a free photobooth, Klausie’s Pizza food truck and chocolate tastings by Elemental Chocolate. Brewmaster’s Bar & Grill will be serving food and drinks until 2am.

Bones and Lillies debuted on March 2nd and 3rd. Choreographed and performed by the Flowjo Family Circus, this collaborative show featured original music written and performed by Crystal Bright and the Silver Hands. Playing off themes of struggle, inspiration, freedom, and transcendance this story of life and death portrays the battle of light and dark leading to the harmonizing of opposites.

Castle McCulloch hosted another epic Carnival party on February 24th and 25th. Kaci and Katie performed in the circus tent, alongside Snake Oil Medicine Show for a jam style collaboration, fusing free style acro-balancing with psycho-billy reggae.

Later in the evening AcroEntertainment had the pleasure of performing with the PLF crew in the Intergalactic Speak Easy with DJ Mr. Jennings, Michael Nighttime, and MC Parker GaLore VIII.

This event happens twice a year in Jamestown, NC. Next Castle Carnival coming to Castle McCulloch in August 2012.

Happy New Year!

AcroEntertainment rang in the New Year with First Night Raleigh, performing at the Children’s Celebration with Cirque de la Premiere Nuit. Joining friends from the Flowjo Family Circus and Hoopdrum, this show included beautiful aerial performances, mind blowing hooping, and of course, amazing acrobatics.

To start the New Year off right, AcroEntertainment performed their first collaborative acrobatic show with Liz Bliss and Jewels from Hoopdrum. Expect to see more group routines and group acrobatics in 2012.

We hope you all have an inspired New Year with abundant blessings and bliss in 2012!
