Greene County across the river and somewhat less so Columbia County have long been renowned for their cutting-edge music scene, yet their airwaves don’t reflect that fact. With the help of community support, this lack is about to be remedied. WGXC volunteers are working hard to launch a 3,300-watt community radio station. Once up and running, 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 its equipment needs. To get on the air, they need to raise the rest.
To that end, this Saturday, just in time for Valentines Day gift shopping, I (heart) WGXC, a sale in Hudson, will feature goods made by local artisans, including ceramics (Michele O’hana and Paula Shalan), photography (Karen Keats and Carlos Loret de Mola), books (Rebecca Wolff), textiles (Minc House), jewelry (Stephanie Iverson, whose necklace is above and on the home page), beeswax candles (Susan Reisen), leather accessories (Elizabeth Powell, who also organized the event) knitted hats (Gundula Brattke), tabletop objects, and other many other one-of-a-kind objects. The artists will donate 20% pf their sales to WGXC. Sound artist Hans Tammen will perform his “Endangered Guitar” throughout the day, culminating in a performance at 6 p.m.
I (heart) WGXC
Saturday, February 6, 11 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.
