Jammin' for the Arts is a city wide benefit in Racine WI. As described by the Racine Journal-Times:

Proceeds from Jammin’ for the Arts will benefit children’s arts programs run by the four member groups of the Racine United Arts Fund — the Racine Arts Council (an umbrella organization for arts organizations in the community), the Racine Art Museum, the Racine Symphony Orchestra and the Racine Theatre Guild. The event, which originated as a Leadership Racine project three years ago, is now run by RUAF, as well as volunteers, such as J.J. McAuliffe, who books the bands.
“Last year we cleared $7,000 and this year we are hoping to raise that to $10,000,” said Nancy Moldenhauer, director of RUAF.
In years past, the money raised has helped fund things such as theater classes and a student performing company at the RTG; special concerts for children and educational performances in schools by the RSO; art classes and exhibit tours for children at the RAM and the RAC’s Lonely Instruments Need Kids program.
Those looking to help, can contribute to the Jammin’ for the Arts cause in one of two ways (or both).
Participants can either buy a $10 wristband, which will get them into all eight music venues throughout the night — or they can purchase food at one of the 15 participating restaurants that evening. A percentage of the restaurants’ take that night (all day long at Sugar Shack) will be donated to the cause.
Most music venues will feature several bands throughout the evening, and together the acts cover a wide range of musical styles including blues, alternative, acoustic, jazz and rock (classical, hard and rap-rock).

Tonights performers at McAuliffe's Pub were: Norm Pratt & Claire; Never Static; The Pulltops and The Sandcarvers. No shots of The Sandcarvers tonight, as I decided to pack away the camera and actually enjoy watching and listening to them with my oldest son, Shaun.
