The sing-a-long was lots of fun and quite enchanting. A WTJU DJ brought two of her friends for a surprise Christmas outing. Two friends from NYC planned their holiday trip to Charlottesville around the event. A taxi driver pulled over in front of the Garage and joined us for a bit. Overall, there was quite a bit a of Christmas cheer, gratitude, and singing!

Thanks to Rob Jefferson for this lovely photograph.

Join us for a listening party of Sufjan Stevens Christmas songs this Saturday, December 6th from 5-7pm. After an hour of listening and hot chocolate drinking, we’ll have a sing-a-long (with a live band!) to Sufjan’s songs and our favorite Christmas hymns.

The current participatory installation in the Garage is only going to be fully lit a few times during its exhibition. The sing-a-long will be a wonderful chance to enjoy the hanging jars of trash fully lit up.

Listening starts at 5pm. Singing starts at 6pm.
