It is always great to see and hear about locals, organizations, students, etc. organizing an event that brings a community together. Pelloni Development along with Kat Quast and Andrew White organized such an event that fused an evening full of art, music, food, spirits and most importantly culture. Artists from all over Orlando gathered at Mills Park to celebrate, appreciate, and communicate - and TubeSocsTV was there to capture it all!

The Venue
Bay Two is a venue that actually is part of a rejuvenation of some sorts down Virginia and Mills Avenue in Orlando, Florida. When everything is all said and done, the area will showcase residential, commercial, and cultural spots that will surely bring people from all ends of Orlando, whether it may be the arts or businesses around the area. The building itself is probably one of a few that was left standing during the redevelopment. The inside is completely gutted out and the end result is an urban feel ready for a splash of artistic expression.


The Artists
Going into Bay Two we had no idea Orlando was a city full of talented artists. It was quite amazing getting to interview the people behind the work, and just by looking at each piece, you begin to see some personality in it that reflects the artists themselves. I think that's what makes each piece interesting as well as inspiring. In an interview I did with Andrew White, he offered these thoughts to aspiring artists. "Never feel like your art is bad or it won't measure up to other artists. You should never compare your art to another artist. As long as you're expressing yourself and you're happy with your work and you want to show it, you should show it."

The Final Thought
The Pelloni Development Corporation believes in fostering creativity and promoting local artists through a series of events that feature music, film, art, and other innovative performances. I believe their mission is a catalyst for many other corporations to act and to accomplish the same goal. Here at TubeSocsTV, we feed off of these kinds of events, these kinds of positive experiences, and we feel that the entire world needs to as well.

In a few days, we will begin to stream online content, stories just like this one, through video podcasts. We invite everyone to check them out and be a part of TubeSocsTV.
