All are invited to our free Watch Party on January 24, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at Grandin Theatre premiering our newest BUZZ starring Roanoke City’s “Arts Connect Neighbors!”

Two years ago we embarked on ambitious project with the city of Roanoke and Roanoke Cultural Endowment to produce six episodes of BUZZ starring arts and culture. 

Over the first five episodes we featured the nonprofits that produce the annual Roanoke Arts Pop, and highlighted the intersection between the arts, health and wellness, public schools, even economic development. 

Here in this final episode, we work with our friends at Roanoke Valley Television as we look beyond the usual arts suspects to the streets, parks, and even homes close to where we live … all as we explore that classic Mr. Rogers’ question that Roanoke artists will be asking throughout 2024: won’t you be my neighbor?

Funding for this episode comes from the Roanoke Cultural Endowment and the City of Roanoke through the American Rescue Plan Act. Watch Party is sponsored by the Roanoke Cultural Endowment.

All are invited to our free Watch Party on Nov. 20 at 6:00 p.m. at Grandin Theatre premiering our newest BUZZ starring Spikenard Honeybee Sanctuary!

We think we know a thing or two about buzz, but we’ve got nothing on Spikenard Honeybee Sanctuary in Floyd County, Virginia. Founded in 2008, this 41-acre refuge buzzes year-round as a refuge that promotes sustainable and biodynamic beekeeping to help restore the health and vitality of the honeybee worldwide.

Poised to pollinate the U.S. and world with its mission, Spikenard turns to a man who knows his B’s — Bruce C. Bryan of 5Points Creative — for some bee-autiful marketing strategies that will give Spikenard even more … well, you know it.
