Art Form Acoustic Folk-rock music
Contact Jesse Lacy booking@jesselacy.com
Website or Facebook http://jesselacy.com
Description I offer a fun folk music performance; think Iron & Wine / Cat Stevens / Glen Hansard / Mumford & Suns kind of music – but all our own original material (and a lot of goofy jokes spread about). Money is not the "end all be all," but performing original music is how I make a living. With that said, I am very flexible with my rates and am willing to work with your budget. - I am versatile and can be solo, bring the entire band, or parts of my band. - Dates also play into the equation. As I am on tour often, being in your area would make my overhead smaller. - I can bring my own sound equipment for a small "lugging around" and "wear-and-tear" fee. - Time also has a big influence on my quotes. How long would you like the performances to be?

Contact Brittany Olson brittany.olson.illustration@gmail.com
Website or Facebook brittanyolsonillustration.com
Description I'm a graphic design specialist at IU, but in my spare time I love fiddling with any and all visual arts—paintings, illustrations, logo design, basically everything. I've been commissioned to create paintings and illustrations of pets, people, and places, and I've also worked on professional logo and branding design for multiple businesses. My prices vary depending on size and medium, but I try to keep costs as low as I can because I believe that everyone should be able to afford art. My wood slice paintings start at $100 plus the cost of materials, and my canvas paintings start at $150. My illustration work falls in the same price range, but also varies depending upon what is actually needed.
