Performers

		Chris Duggan "Artists such as Chris, continue to put effort into making it happen. Constantly involving themselves in music-making in whatever way possible. Even if it means doing a little bit of everything, most artists understand that that is truly what it takes." -TOMI Magazine http://www.cdrocks.com/
		Matt Montaw Monta is a staple of the Columbus Roots-Rock scene, pulling duty in three ensembles of note (The Smoking Guns, The Hot Coal Band and Righteous Buck & the Skull Scorchers) plus running the esteemed twice-monthly Honky Tonk Happy Hour at The Shrunken Head for three years strong. He’s so dedicated to music that he recently quit his day job to focus on twang full-time. Despite Monta’s many associates, his new album is a stripped-down affair, mostly the man and his guitar plus a few harmonica flourishes. http://www.mattmonta.com/
		DJ Orson bEaTz DJ bEaTz hosts the Saturday radio show, Terryland: A Nation of Chill & Alternative Music on 91.1FM WDUB, Denison University’s college radio station transmitting out of Granville, Ohio. His weekly show garners loyal listeners in Cbus, as well as a faraway as San Francisco, Paris and Berlin.  He is 11 years old  and in the fifth grade. Along with playing piano and drums, bEaTz dreams of being a successful DJ/musician/producer when he grows up. Following a successful live DJ gig at the opening of Clintonville’s Spiritus Tattoo, bEaTz  will be spinning an out of this world mix of 80s techno, chill and alternative vibes especially created for Agora and the end of Junctionview called, “SPACED OUT.” https://www.facebook.com/events/361710197242928/?fref=ts

Visting Artists
Agora guests have the opportunity to view and purchase works of art from a unique group of 150 visiting artists and 44 open studios. Visiting artists’ works selected from online submissions will adorn the halls of the 22,000 sq. ft. warehouse. The resident artists of the space open their workspaces to people wanting to experience their individual unique working environments. 

Most work is available for sale. Over $1000 in awards are given out to artists. Awards are determined by judges and audience ballot.

This year's artists include:

Open Studios:
Junctionview Studios has been a working home to over 60 artists in 44 spaces. Come see each individual creative space for one last time. Artists currently working at Junctionview Studios are: 

Performances:
For the last time, some of Columbus' best performers will converge on the back parking lot of Junctionview Studios. Below is a list of performers that will take the stage at the main event:

		noon - Fields and Planes With influences like Andrew Bird, Elliot Smith and Bright Eyes, it's hard to go wrong with some catchy Indie pop.  Complete with male/female vocals, humming along isn't required, but you'll probably want to. http://www.reverbnation.com/fieldsandplanes
		1pm - Ride to Ruin Starting off Agora with Ride to Ruin is like starting the school day with the Pledge of Allegiance.  Except with more guitar riffs and less annoying teachers.  The boys will be holding an air bass contest during their set, so come on out and give it shot.  You might just become Ride to Ruin's Official Air Bassist!  http://ridetoruin.bandcamp.com/album/ride-to-ruin
		2pm - Skashank Redemption The Skashank Redemption is a 7-piece ska band located in Columbus, Ohio. They have began to carve a niche in the local music scene that has attracted ska kids, punkers, metal heads, frat guys, and hipsters alike. The idea is simple- they play music that's fun, addicting, and easy to dance to. http://www.reverbnation.com/theskashankredemption
		3pm - Maza Blaska WOUB music has this to say about Maza Blaska: "To use a food analogy, Maza Blaska sounds like a musical casserole. The individual elements vary, you may not be able to identify some ingredients, and the whole thing is cooked up together. The end result is appealingly straightforward, yet complex; unique, yet immediately familiar." http://mazablaska.bandcamp.com/
		4pm - Buckles and Boots This husband and wife duo craft beautiful country and folk tunes around her songbird-like voice and his skills with just about any instrument that needs picked or plucked. http://www.reverbnation.com/bucklesandboots
		5pm - Pharoahs Pharoahs bring a unique blend of dance-worthy rhythms and noisy guitars and keyboards to the Agora stage.  Citing Dinosaur Jr. as an influence, J. Mascis would be proud. http://pharoahs.bandcamp.com/album/pharoahs-2
		6pm - Flotation Walls The Flotation Walls say this about themselves: "Flotation Walls is an experimental pop group. We are always evolving and interested in creating new musical hybrids or new styles altogether."  Their shows are one of a kind and this one you won't want to miss. http://flotationwalls.bandcamp.com/
		7pm - EYE Their bio reads "The edge of space."  After hearing the swirling guitars and inventive rhythms, you won't disagree.  Surely a force to be reckoned with in the Columbus music scene. https://www.facebook.com/EYE00
		8pm - Earwig Donewaiting has this to say about Earwig "... a Columbus institution. Always on target, always a lot of fun..." and "...a hearty meat-and-potatoes midwest indie rock sound..."  The band has been a constant in Columbus since their debut in 1992.  Can't we all agree to rock out to some Earwig? http://earwig.bandcamp.com/ http://www.lizardfamily.com/NEWS/news.html
		9pm - Bicentennial Bear From the Other Paper "...It goes without saying that Columbus lost a fine band when the members of Miranda Sound called it a day. Fortunately, the story didn't end there.  Billy Peake and Sean Sefcik went on to form Bicentennial Bear...which is equal parts Guided by Voices arena rock and Pretty Mighty Mighty pop. Pleasantly, it also brings to mind the idea of Cheap Trick playing at Obama's inauguration." http://bicentennialbear.com/
		10pm - DJ Moxy "Her name is a promise. Her music is a testimony to her name. This emerging electronic music producer, remixer, and spin artist is the very definition of nervy know how. Moxie is Moxy's life agenda." http://www.djmoxy.com/
