30. April - 2. Maj, Palićki Etno kamp

Trenchtown festival ove godine, od 30. aprila do 2. maja na palićkom Etno kampu, sa svojim prepoznatljivim i unikatnim šarmom nudi svojim gostima proveren, ali ujedno i sasvim novi ugođaj. Ove godine cela atmosfera i duh festivala su dodatno oplemenjeni pažljivo kreiranim programom koji će se odvijati na tri stage-a, a koji je obogaćen visokokvalitetnim zvukom i pažljivo odabranom i umetnički osmišljenom rasvetom.

Očekuje vas pregršt muzičkih happening-a, nezaboravnih koncerata i nastupa izvođača iz našeg regiona kao i iz cele Evrope. Baš kao i uvek, ovde možete pronaći zgodno mesto za vaš šator, umetničke instalacije, i mnogo ukusne i zdrave hrane...

Festival i ove godine organizuje FOKUS Fondacija za omladinsku kulturu i stvaralaštvo iz Subotice.

Trenchtown je započeo kao inicijativa mladih ljudi iz Subotice sa željom da se reafirmiše dobro poznata festivalska kultura grada i ceo projekat predstavlja fuziju modernog stvaralaštva iz zemlje i inostranstva uopšte: muzičara, strip crtača, ekologa, kampera, radio amatera, producenata filma i animacije, rezbara, plesa i žonglera. Osim muzičkog programa, tokom Festivala održavale su se različite radionice, sa besplatnim učešćem, koje su se odvijale na srpskom i mađarskom jeziku (foto, književna, likovna, strip, novinarska, dramska radionica...), kao i volonterski omladinski rad.

Dear all, MO’s, partners and friend of BRC,

BRC has recieved a grant from Roskilde Festival Foundation designated to create 4 so-called "light tower organisations" hosting and managing a sustainable rehearsal room with all basic equipment and a small office facility.

Description of the project, from the application document:
"Targeted capacity building of 4 strategically selected local music organizations, which then becomes light tower organizations capable of serving as a model for other organizations as well as governmental structures.
As an outcome of the project the host organizations end up (as a minimum) having an open and democratic structure, have their own premises including a rehearsal room, simple office (one pc) and access to a local venue where the musicians can perform concerts.
The estimated financial support from BRC for a complete rehearsal room and a simple office is approximately 3.000,- EUR - After which the local organization is self sustainable, as through a reasonable membership fees it will be possible to maintain the equipment and pay a smaller rent."
