You wouldn’t know it from my previous blogs, but NO, all downtown Burlington fun does not have to include a bar.
Take for instance our friendly neighborhood—er—space? Designhaus.
That’s right, it’s a space, for whatever use you could possibly imagine. I have seen music, artwork, sculptures and massive amounts of fun take place in this “space”. Comfortably it seats about 40 people in the whole joint, making it a tiny space, but in my opinion, just large enough to keep the real art-observers in and the riff raff out. (Riff raff…hmmm…does Church Street even have riff raff?)
Dare I say that I have had one slight frustration with downtown Burlington in the past; although our plethora of colleges (five majors in this small area) keep our economy afloat, sometimes it can leave those of us inbetweeners (say…23+) feeling a little big for our britches. Or…a little old for our town. But when Designhaus settled on upper Church, all was changed. Finally, we have a creative space where all of us sorta-grownups can hang. Did I mention it’s BYOB?
Which brings me to my announcement about the next cool thing DH is up to this Friday from 5 p.m.-11 p.m.: The Open Fashion Shoot. Come experience the working photo studio! DH technicians will be on-hand giving demonstrations, answering questions, and facilitating fun. They need models, photographers and enthusiasts to get involved. Bring your friend, your kid, your dog… anyone can drop in to strike a pose or pop a flash. Image copies will be available after the shoot. Discounted studio memberships will be offered during the event!
