ABOUT GRRRLZ ROCK
What Is Grrrlz Rock?
Grrrlz Rock is a month-long festival that celebrates the participation
and growth of women in music and the arts. Thousands of performers and
artists from all genres have been represented by the festival’s
numerous events. Hundreds of businesses have benefited from highly
visible and affordable sponsorship packages including print
advertising, website links, social media, blogs, unique promotional
products, radio and television coverage, interviews and on-site event
opportunities. Grrrlz Rock events have encouraged, inspired and
supported so many female performers, bands and artists from all walks
of art and life.
What is The Raven Project?
This year’s Grrrlz Rock is presented by The Raven Project. The Raven
Project supports young female artists and musicians in leaving their
nests, spreading their wings and expressing themselves.
Event Proceeds Benefit Local Grrrlz
Event proceeds from this year will be used to sponsor young girls by
providing financial support for their explorations of music and the
arts. We believe strongly that in order to increase female
participation in music and the arts, we must reach out to the next
generation of “grrrlz” and support them as they develop. Youth will be
selected from the local community based on financial need and they
will receive gift certificates to purchase art supplies and musical
instruments from local businesses.
Who Manages Grrrlz Rock?
My name is Matrisha Armitage of Tea Time Productions and I have been a
Grrrlz Rock participant and volunteer since 2007. As president of a bookkeeping company by day and drummer for
Bajuana Tea by night I am looking forward to applying my business
skills and passion for music to make the Grrrlz Rock 6th Annual
festival a huge success! Those of you who know me understand how much
participating in Grrrlz Rock has meant to me these past several years.
In the coming months I will be spreading the word, expanding our
audience and meeting more of the ongoing supporters who have made
every year such a wonderful experience. Working with the community,
listening to ideas and creating valuable marketing opportunities for
local businesses will be my focus this year and I need you to be a
part of the action!
