Hello Valley Lux fam! The festival now feels like it is creeping up on us...The line-up is final, visual artists are booked, and the logistics are taken care of. So what better way to get excited than with a little promo video that perfectly reflects the vibes we'll be experiencing in the beautiful woods of Montague?! Check out this awesome work that our friend Pierre Babin from Montreal did for us. If this pumps you up, please share this video. Cheers!

By the way, for anyone traveling from afar, we now have some info on the website about local camping and hotel options. Looking forward to seeing friends from near and far!

Due to UMASS commencement, hotel accomodations are almost completely booked up in the Pioneer Valley for festival weekend. We recommend seeking hotels north of the festival. Brattleboro, VT is a 30 minute drive away and has many options.

Prepare yourselves. Battyjack will be bringing a full sensory experience to Valley Lux Festival. Battyjack’s DJ set will be accompanied by an amazing video piece customized for our unique stage. Peep the preview of some of D’hana Perry’s previous work, “LOOSE”. We are so stoked to see the whole experience live!

So you've heard about the music and the food, but what about the art?!

Over the next week or 2 we'll be posting teasers for some of the art installations you'll be able to see at the festival, along with bios of their creators. Here's the first one:

MOVE/DIFFERENT

http://valleyluxfestival.com/movedif.gif

an interactive projection piece from John Erickson. Folks can look forward to finding his piece nestled among the trees waiting for you to experiment all weekend long. Just know; the more you boogie the better it gets.

After realizing how much he disliked memorizing lines in college John rediscovered his love for editing and computer FX and has been doing projection and video design ever since. During his many years living in Colorado John has managed to expand his knowledge of all things design including lighting, sound, film, and graphic design. His specialties include show programming, 2.5D animation and photoshop. He currently resides in Brooklyn and works in the greater NY area but enjoys traveling and long walks on the beach when possible.

Want to help out the Valley Lux Festival? Have an old TV sitting in back of your garage/ closet/ attic/ crawl space/ locally sourced and handbuilt tiny-house? We want it!

The Valley Lux Festival is working on a large scale installation piece for the festival that involves as many CRT, tube type, TVs as we can get our hands on. If you have one you'd like to get rid of somewhere in the Pioneer Valley, NYC or Boston we'll come drag the heavy thing out of its hiding place, and give it one last hurrah at the festival.
