The New Territory Arts Association
Benton Harbor, MI
Founded in 1998 in order to develop and promote The Benton Harbor Arts District, the
New Territory Arts Association is a grassroots organization dedicated to the revitalization
of Benton Harbor through the Arts. The NTAA has been responsible for many
special district events including the annual Arts District Banner Projects, The Fall Festival
of the Arts, the NTAA Mural Project, and the Benton Harbor City Market. The
New Territory Arts Association Scholarship Fund provides assistance with art education
for community youth by helping with tuition for classes at The Citadel Dance
Center, Water Street Glasswork's "Fired Up!" program, and other regional art education
curricula. The NTAA also sponsors The Benton Harbor Children's Art Fair and
other area arts related programs.

Simultaneously, Yep Roc will release the Alvin-curated tribute to late friend and band mate Chris Gaffney, Man of Somebody’s Dreams: A Tribute to the Songs of Chris Gaffney.<p>Dave Alvin’s current labors of love, the albums Dave Alvin & The Guilty Women and Man of Somebody’s Dreams: A Tribute to the Songs of Chris Gaffney are inextricably linked. After the death of long-time Guilty Men accordionist and best friend Chris Gaffney, Alvin set out compiling a tribute to the man and his songs, racking up tracks by heavyweights like Calexico, Los Lobos, Alejandro Escovedo, James McMurtry and many others.<p>Even though Alvin knew that Chris would want him back in the studio creating and doing what he loved as fast as possible, Dave felt the wound was still too raw to record with the Guilty Men. However, turning his considerable creative forces to a fresh project was just what the doctor ordered. The Guilty Women line-up of Cindy Cashdollar, Nina Gerber, Laurie Lewis, Christy McWilson, Sarah Brown, Amy Farris and Lisa Pankratz debuted at the 2008 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. Alvin knew instantly this was the band he would record with. “It just felt so natural,” says Alvin. “It was like I had been playing with them for a hundred years.”','www.davealvin.net')){kind=link}
