Hundreds of fans of tasty regional music acts; fun, beautiful country views; relaxation; good food; and wine tasting attended the 2nd Annual Grounds for Music in Wagontown, western Chester County. Eleven terrific bands generously donated their time and talents for C3A and played their hearts out, believing in our mission of connecting arts and the community, because the creative class is the future! Why? An artful, inclusive, light-and-ready approach to thinking, business and promotion and even politics is the key for surviving and thriving in the new millenium. Enjoy the photo gallery!
