Join Irvington Vinyl & Books, Musical Family Tree, Kheprw, 4th Sunday, Abattoir Midwest, The Indiana Writers Center, and The Central Indiana Community Foundation as we stream a performance from some of Indianapolis' major talent! For not only is this RECORD STORE DAY, it's the day we launch a mutual aid initiative called The R/Evolution Fund. In store, we'll be streaming the prerecorded performances, as well as here on Facebook. Many thanks to videographer Jen Banks for donating her time and equipment to make this possible!
Day of, we'll also have local vendors outdoors, visual art for your perusal (along with a digital gallery for those at home!), and 20% of ALL SALES IN STORE will be donated to the fund.
So what is The R/Evolution Fund?
The R/Evolution Fund was developed in response to the ongoing gentrification of Indianapolis. It serves the community of Indianapolis by providing emergency bill-pay relief to BIPOC artists so they may continue creating in times of crisis.
For the month of June, we'll be awarding 3 no questions asked grants for $500. Each month, the fund will turn over and we'll create 3 new grants for new recipients. To learn more about the fund, or to donate now, go here: https://www.irvingtonvinylandbooks.com/the-revolution-fund
