Hands-on Radio in Greene and Columbia Counties. This special event also features
works available by the Garden Goddesses.

The "Garden Goddesses" are a group of working artists who garden in Catskill and
the surrounding areas. Members have been meeting for just under a year at each
other's homes, studios, and gardens. Although the artists work in various media
including music, painting, photography, poetry, and sculpture. Their love of
gardening and their pioneering spirits bring them together to reflect on their
work, their gardens, and how they influence each other. At the November 14th
benefit the Garden Goddesses will exhibit works by "the goddesses" and photos of
them in their gardens, that will be for sale in support of WGXC. This
installation is a glimpse into the personal worlds of the artists and the forces
that drive them creatively and spiritually. The Garden Goddesses include
Victoria Brill, Alice Caulfield, Sasha Chermayeff, Tasha Depp, Lex Grey, Ruth
Leonard, Portia Munson, Dina Palin, Fawn Potash, Erica Potrzeba, and Cate
Woodruff.

Catskill WGXC Sound-Voice Benefit is organized by Sam Truitt, Fawn Potash, and
Paul Smart.

WGXC is a community-run media project, re-envisioning radio as an innovative
platform for local participation. Our inclusive programming connects diverse
voices, and distributes information across the public spectrum in New York's
Greene and Columbia counties. This multi-faceted project will be much more than
just a radio station. With studios in Catskill and Hudson, WGXC activities will
include special exhibitions and events, workshops and media training for youth
and adults, a news blog with writing and photography, and a local calendar of
events, meetings, and other resources.

WGXC volunteers are working hard to launch a 3,300-watt community radio station.
More than 78,000 people throughout Greene and Columbia counties will be able to
receive the signal on 90.7-FM. WGXC received its license from the FCC and a
grant from the US Commerce Dept that will cover 50 percent of our equipment
needs. We now need to raise matching funds in order to get on the air. Join us
on November 14 and help launch WGXC-FM.
