sets at the Tower’s loading dock doors,
which face Brooks Alley. Other musi-
cians who will be performing include
Eric Leadbetter, Bill Powers, Stephanie
Slade and Jeshua Marshall. Spo-
ken-word poet Jessica Amascual will
wow watchers with words at 2:35 p.m.
and 4:35 p.m.
“We are thrilled to throw open the
doors — OK, actually our loading dock
doors — for area musicians and artists
to get some much-needed live, in-per-
son face time with fans, new and old,”
said Ray Solley, executive director of
the Tower Theatre. “It should be an en-
joyable way to add some local creative
ambiance to your holiday weekend.”
Works by visual artists in the grant
program will be featured in the Tower
lobby throughout the afternoon.
The Bulletin and Scalehouse Col-
laborative for the Arts launched the
CO CAREs grant program earlier this
year with an aim of providing financial
relief to musicians, visual artists and
other Central Oregon creative work-
ers who have incurred unexpected ex-
penses or other financial needs result-
ing from the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the first application round, 20
artists and musicians were awarded a
portion of $20,000 raised. A new appli-
cation period began May 20 and drew
10 applicants within a day of opening.
Applications are reviewed on an on-
going basis and are subject to approval
and available funds. Previous appli-
cants are welcome to reapply, but new
applicants will be given priority.
The current round of applications
will close June 20, and approved appli-
cants will be notified the week of June
28. Payments will be made by check
and mailed starting in July.
Artists and musicians who’ve applied
for grants are featured in videos and
profiles Thursdays in GO! Magazine
and at bendbulletin.com/talent, where
one can also apply for a grant or make
a donation. Donations can also be
made Sunday at the Tower, at the CO
CAREs GoFundMe page or by texting
“TOWER” to 44321.
