We’ve partnered with Attendance Records in the past on events and are always moved by their dedication to inspiring young people to pursue their creative voice. The program works in high schools to educate students about a variety of facets of the music industry, including songwriting, album artwork, and recording. To raise money to expand the program, the organization is seeking sponsors for an upcoming art auction to be held on May 31st from 5pm-9pm at Wright Bros. Brew and Brew. The art showcased at the event is a product of students interfacing with artists working in Austin to create modernized versions of classic album covers. The organization is seeking a business sponsor for each of the pieces featured in the show. to In their own words, Attendance Records, released a press release saying:
“During our spring semester, we worked with 10 local artists on modernizing classic album covers. Students began by researching the artistic and cultural significance of their classic album cover and created a presentation on their findings. They then compared and contrasted their classic albums with modern album covers and met with local artists to present their artistic vision for a modern day interpretation of their classic album cover. These 10 re-imagined covers will be on display with their classic counterparts at our art auction.”
Below is a list of the albums + artists for each piece:
Born in the USA, Bruce Springsteen / Josh House
