The end of July may be the dog days of summer for most. But for the cool folks in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the month closes out with three fantastic days of artistic expression thanks to efforts of Nate’s Home and Garden Kicking off at 5:30 pm on Sat July 26th, will be the 3rd annual Music Art Film Craft Fest. The evening —running from six to midnight — is being produced to raise money for rooted in Inc and in memory of Nate Lindstrom. Nated home and Garded is a mental health advocacy organization launched by members of the band The Pale Figures — a group which started in Green Bay that was revived after a family member had taken his own life. Suicide awareness and mental health advocacy have become issues many people are concerned with passionately and want to support.
A plethora of local artists, musicians, filmmakers and other talents will be showcasing themselves once the doors open at the historic Tarlton Theatre [405-409 W. Walnut St.]. Performing on that night will be dream pop indie rockers The Pale Figures, classically trained cellist Arthur Gabriel Smeall and others. Also in attendance will be local chef Selena Darrow who will feature some of her sumptuous dishes during the evening. There will also be some fine art on display by Eric Cash -- noted for his detailed portraits of the Beatles — and The Stain Glass Duo as well as about a dozen tables demonstrating an array of local crafters at work. Besides local personalities, there will be a special appearance by New York - based Brad Balfour, an international recognized writer, photographer and speaker who will be debuting his live show detailing his experiences as a pop culture interviewer through an hour-long+ presentation of his “Punk Polaroids” — a series of images he made during the late ’70s and ‘80s. While interviewing such stars as The Rolling Stones, Johnny Rotten and the Ramones, he got them and others to pose long enough to pull off the one perfect shot. As he said, “Over the past 45 years, my life went from local to international, from covering music to film and every other kind of pop culture possibility. And through it all, I wrote interviews, reviews, and commentary in print, online, video and live.” There will be museum-quality, collectable prints available for sale.

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of the Music Art Film Craft Fest!

    This festival truly stands out as a unique platform that beautifully blends creativity with meaningful purpose. Everything—from the organization and communication to the warm, supportive atmosphere—was handled with such professionalism and care.

    I especially appreciated the festival’s focus on mental health awareness, which is such an important and timely topic. It’s inspiring to see a festival use art not only for expression but also for impact.

    Wishing the team continued success and many more powerful creative moments ahead!

    The Music Art Film Craft Fest—held in Green Bay, Wisconsin—is a heartfelt hybrid music + arts event that brings together film, live music, visual art, and local culinary talent for a one‑night celebration rooted in storytelling and activism. Now in its third year, the festival supports mental health awareness through its programming and community partnerships, with the historic Tarlton Theatre hosting live performances, art installations, and film screenings.

    Having my video "Amazing" chosen as an Official Selection highlights not only its creative and musical strength but also how it aligns with the festival’s blend of artistic expression and meaningful impact.
