Wil Pratt Memorial: The Peace Love Infinity legacy fund is hosting its second annual legacy memorial to local artist Wil Pratt, full of music, art, and remembrance.
In honour of their fallen friend, his community created a project-based fund which this year presents the Cussin’ Bootz album, where local musicians including Hydracat, Sharkbag! and Tzadeka circled around Pratt’s lyrics inspired, amazingly, as part of the lore around cat puppets he made.
You can already listen to the feline-themed music at peaceloveinfinity.org, but please pop by the event for a silent art auction, live music by KAK, Wendi Darling, and more.
Details: 4 p.m. – 10 p.m. at Orange Hall (10335 84 Ave.), no charge
