On Friday, May 17, Charlottesville Tomorrow neighborhoods reporter Erin O’Hare will give a talk during the monthly CreativeMornings speaker series.
The topic is “vibrant,” and Erin will talk about how she remembers that Charlottesville is a vibrant community, when her journalistic work often focuses on its problems.
For Erin, those reminders come in a few different forms: music, art, and in her journalism, by featuring people who work to make Charlottesville a better place to live.
In addition to reporting on housing and neighborhoods for Charlottesville Tomorrow, Erin is a volunteer DJ for WTJU 91.1 FM Charlottesville, where she co-hosts the punk, hardcore, and outer limits show Black Circle Revolution Thursday nights from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. She is the author of the Under The Table And Screaming series, a five-volume zine series about local independent and do-it-yourself music venues published by WTJU. The final volume is due out any day now.
Erin also plays bass in two bands and books music for Visible Records, the art gallery, studio, and community space in Charlottesville where CreativeMornings will be held this month.
CreativeMornings events take place in dozens of cities all over the world. Each month has a different theme, and each local chapter selects a speaker from its own community to discuss that topic. The event kicks off with breakfast and mingling time before the talk begins.
