On this episode of the 159 Inclined Podcast, Will and James spent some time with Melody Tisinger, Director Of Advancement & Operations at the Bottle Works Arts on 3rd Avenue in Johnstown. During our time at the Bottle Works, there was a lot going on, from yoga on the lawn, to a rehearsal for an upcoming performance in the Black Box Theater, to a group working on Jackie’s Garden Works Green Roof on a documentary, to an incredible art exhibit of Heather Davis’s work. Our time with Melody was both inspiring and refreshing as listeners will get to learn more about the incredible work that such a small team has been able to accomplish in reinvigorating the arts, community, ethnic appreciation, and sustainable practices.
