Fair Trade Music signs first participant: Village Building Convergence event

Fair Trade Music PDX is way stoked to announce their first participant: the ten-day Village Building Convergence, a fundraising event for the neighborhood-transformation-design-architecture-building-community organization City Repair Project.

We’re also way stoked to be working with such an amazing group.

They’ve agreed to pay EVERY musician – not just a few, as it was in the past – at least our minimum 1st tier scale. That they’re paying musicians despite everyone else volunteering their time underscores the Village Building Convergence’s commitment to supporting the artists in a real, rather than merely rhetorical, way.
