Why am I here you ask?

Hello all out there in the blogosphere world! My name is Amanda Emery and I am going to be telling you all about the rad art scene in the downtown Flint area. Not just the major galleries, but the small indy shows as well. Flint has always been rich in the arts, whether they be musical or physical.

I remember when I first became involved in the arts in Flint, I was the ripe old age of 13 and I would come downtown to the Local 432 and listen to local bands. I believe that my love of music and art really started there. As I got older I began to become more involved in other arts in Flint as well.

I have helped put together small indy art shows in downtown, as well as help out and be a part of shows in the bigger galleries.

The point of what I want to tell you here, is that Flint might hit some hard times, but the arts have always stayed strong. The Local 432 is making a comeback, some major galleries maybe struggling, but they are managing. And every now and again, people take the initiative to find a space, and put on a rad as hell show of their own. What I am gonna do is bring you some pieces of all of it.

Hope you enjoy.
