ROCK & ROCKS!

Project Green River is an outdoor arts festival on Broadway in Green River, Utah put on by Epicenter. The Second Annual PGR is taking place on Sept 17, 2011 from noon-midnight. Rock ‘N Roll in the desert!

Go to our Kickstarter to donate to Epicenter and learn more about Project Green River. Please help us spread the word via email and Facebook. Our goal is to raise $7,000 during the month of July.

This is our big annual fund-raiser so make it count, guys! We appreciate you.

Get excited because we’re launching a Kickstarter project tonight! The project will be our big fundraiser for the year, and we’re hoping to raise $7,000 during the month of July to pay for this year’s Project Green River. The 2nd Annual Project Green River is to be held in conjunction with Melon Days, and will take place on September 17th. When you give money on Kickstarter you receive rewards. For our project you can get admission to this year’s festival, an official PGR poster or t-shirt, dinner for two at the Tamarisk (a locally owned restaurant situated right on the Green River), a night at the Green River Holiday Inn Express, and maybe even a rafting trip! We’re hammering out the final details today and launching at midnight EST.

One of the many project’s the EPIcrew is working on is a festival for June 4+5, 2010 known as Project Green River.You may be wondering, “But, I thought you guys were designers and/or architects or something? Why organize an event?” Well, we have chosen to take on an event (in addition to renovating Baxter) based on other demands of the town. Working closely with the Green River Chamber of Commerce, we quickly realized there needs to be a events outside of Melon Days. The town wants more activity and tourism… reasons to celebrate life in Green River. So, this is our answer! Project Green River is a music, art, and film festival run by local volunteers (The Chamber of Commerce, Americorps VISTA’s, local City Council members, and enthusiastic residents) to raise money for affordable housing. Green River, Utah suffers from generational poverty, substandard living conditions, and lacks affordable housing options. The festival will unite the community and allow them to gain ownership of their future, increase awareness, and stimulate the struggling economy.
