Postmark BRAVO heading

**New Age Flamenco [ https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?show=193529 ]
**Saturday, March 23| 7:30 PM*
*Postmark Center for the Arts, 20 Auburn Ave.
Tickets: $20/$17

The music of New Age Flamenco was influenced by the work of Gipsy Kings, Carlos Santana, Ottmar Liebert & others. Their sound reflects a strong Latin connection, with Mediterranean folk, European roots, jazz, and a Gypsy soul blended with the infectious rhythms of modern music. New Age Flamenco integrates these influences by combining them to create a new, personal sound of their own to bring you an exuberant stage experience!

*VIDEO: Historic Postmark Center in Auburn | Spellman Award  [ https://vimeo.com/showcase/10918912/video/896371893 ]*

The Auburn Post Office was built in 1937, an elegant structure that served a growing community. Starting in 2016, the City of Auburn transformed the building into the Postmark Center for the Arts, a vibrant space for public music and dance programs, visual arts exhibits and classes, and other cultural gatherings.

The 2023 John D. Spellman Award for Excellence in Adaptive Reuse goes to the City of Auburn for their stunning rehabilitation of the Auburn Post Office as the Postmark Center for the Arts.

by Raymond Street

"By 5:30 p.m. there were only over 100 people at the event. Then a city representative used a mic and welcomed everyone. There were thanks given to the artists, a sincere land acknowledgement recognizing the connection and history to the land. They acknowledged Auburn City Councilmembers and Commissioners present in the crowd and their contributions to the arts. Then each artist was given the chance to say a few words and talk about their art."
