About Corvallis Art Beat

noreply@blogger.com (Rob Birdwell) — Sat, 22 Oct 2005 01:31:00 +0000

CORVALLIS -- Corvallis Art Beat is an arts portal that showcases a variety of dynamic and interesting content pertaining to local Corvallis, Oregon artists, musicians, dancers/choreographers, actors, directors, writers, poets, you name 'em - anyone involved in the arts scene in and around Corvallis! Maybe even you?

I (Rob Birdwell) built, run and maintain Corvallis Art Beat out of a sincere desire to offer a site that provides a wide variety of dynamic and useful content about the local arts scene, and particularly in the areas of Art, Music, Dance, Theatre and Literature.

Naturally, I don't pretend to think I can possibly cover every aspect of the arts - I'm too busy doing my own music thing! So this site has what I call Beatniks. Beatniks are content contributors (folks involved in some way in the Corvallis community of the arts) who post their perspectives, observations, stories, reports, news, events - the "beat" if you will.

Hopefully, you'll find something entertaining, fun and interesting at Corvallis Art Beat. And if not, become a Beatnik and help to fill the void! After all, that's what art is all about - creation.

You can learn more about me and my creative outlet(s) by visiting BirdwellMusic.com.

Feel the beat!

First Leap

noreply@blogger.com (Rob Birdwell) — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 04:06:00 +0000

The proverbial leap of faith...every project starts somewhere...and this one starts like this!

Corvallis Art Beat will have the very latest content for Art, Music, Dance, Theatre and Literature - it's going to be cool...and useful.

Why only Corvallis? Well, my family and I live here for one. Besides, getting a handle on all the latest goings for Corvallis alone will be a Herculean effort!

By the time we release (and you'll see it evolve - it's pretty humble right now...but not for long!) there should be something that actually looks like a web site - with the exception that 95% of everything here will be dynamic...produced by a crack team of Beatniks from the Corvallis area!

After all, don't we all want to spend less time geeking and more time doing the fun stuff!

More later!
