Thank You - Vega Productions 5th Birthday

THANK YOU to everyone who came out in support of Vega Productions' 5th birthday fundraiser. Between ticket sales and the silent auction, we were able to raise more than $7,000.00! This funding will support our operations for 2010 as we work to bring instruments and art supplies, as well as a couple of new after school and residency programs, to students in Minnesota public schools.

Special thank you to the Fineline & Cabooze, God Johnson, The Histronic, Hyentyte, Cymatic, Umphrey's McGee, artists Michelle Ochs and Jeredt Runions, photographers Mike Anderson & Matt Stengl, all of the organization who donated silent auction items and those of you who bid and bought tickets to the show!

Happy Birthday To Us!

Vega Productions is turning 5 and we are celebrating after the Saturday night Umphrey's McGee show at First Ave. Be prepared to be rawked by God Johnson, Hyentyte, The Histronic and some very special guests! If you attended this show last year, you know that you're in for a treat...

Proceeds from the night benefit Vega Productions as we raise money to fund operating expenses for 2010. 2009 was a breakout year for our little non-profit organization and we aim to donate over $100,000.00 to music and art programs in need this year!

New Year's Eve Donation

Vega Productions and Schmitt Music delivered the donation that resulted from "2010: The Year We Make Contact" featuring Solid Gold, Freddy Fresh, Heatbox, The Histronic and Nicholas Mrozinski. More than 60 instruments were donated to Thomas Edison High School in NE Minneapolis. It was just five short years ago that the school did not even have an instrumental music program, so these instruments will really help Edison Music Director Beth Hulteng continue to build the program. Thank you to everyone who attended the show and made this possible!
