Tiny Concerts Inspired by Tiny Desk
Tiny Concerts in East Vancouver & YouTube
The Art Party is launching a new series of live music and digital art called Tiny Concerts inspired by Tiny Desk to bring neighbours of all ages together in East Vancouver. The organizers are senior artists, musicians, and promoters, with decades of experience in the local art and music scene. Their leadership is especially meaningful in a community where seniors play a vital yet often overlooked role. By including senior creatives, Tiny Concerts can combat isolation, reclaim visibility, and strengthen community ties through creative engagement.
Modelled after NPR’s Tiny Desk
This project will provide culturally diverse musicians with access to professional-grade equipment, including lighting, sound systems, recorders, projectors, and instruments at FriendsQuarters, USER Media, DCTRL, and Blue Velvet Lounge. Creatives will perform in intimate concerts modelled after NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, which will be livestreamed and recorded for promotional use. These performances will be shared across social media and digital platforms to help artists build visibility, expand networks, and secure paid opportunities. These videos will be published on YouTube and shared on Facebook to promote Tiny Concerts & Digital Art events.
Tiny Concerts with Johnny Diamond
Johnny Diamond rehearsals will take place at the Blue Velvet Lounge, a residential studio equipped with green screens, lighting equipment, and recording tools. These rehearsals will be recorded and edited to highlight the best live music moments, incorporating digital art and photography.
