TODAY IT FEELS LIKE THE PERFECT SPRING DAY HERE AT THE LAKE.

IN FACT, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A PAINTING, LEADING US TO THE FIRST PART OF TODAY'S PROGRAM.

ARTISTS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A LOT OF CHALLENGES.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SAFE WAYS TO SHARE THEIR ART WORK AND TALENT, NEW LEVELS OF CREATIVITY AND ALSO PLANNING.

WE ARE BEGINNING TODAY WITH WFSU'S ARTISTS FRIEND FRIENDS IN HOPES OF CREATING A BETTER AND STRONGER COMMUNITY OF.

>> IF YOU DRIVE AROUND, YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE SMALL TOWNS.

WE HAVE FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO BE HERE.

THAT IS WITH A PASSION.

SO WHEN YOU COME AND WALK THE STREETS, YOU ARE GOING TO MEET THE OWNER AND THE OWNER IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WE WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT WE LOVE HERE.

>> LIKE MANY SMALL TOWNS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH, HAVANA, FLORIDA, IS IN TRANSITION.

AND A SHOT CALLED WANDERINGS, PRESIDENT WITH THE RECENT REFORM HAVE BEEN A MAINSTREAM.

HER IDEA IS TO TURN IT INTO A DESTINATION BY MAKING IT AN EXPERIENCE.

>> IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN, IT IS ABOUT HAVANA FORTUNE.

SO WHAT MAINSTREAM IS TRYING TO DO IS WORK ON HISTORICAL PRESERVATION, BUT TO KIND OF GET IT ALL GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR US THE FURNITURE IS GOOD, BUT WHAT ELSE CAN YOU BRING THE DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY TO DO.AND ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT HAS BEEN MISSING IS AN ARTIST COMPONENT.SO WE HAVE A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO, WE CHOSE THIS BECAUSE OF THE TIES WITH THE ART COMMUNITY.

>> THE HAVE BEEN A MAIN STREET EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HER WHEN IS TO GROW AND ARTIST COMMUNITY.

>> AND THE GROUP'S NAME IS AHA.

>> IT IS ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS.

WE STARTED IN 2018 WHEN A FRIEND OF OURS WHO HAD A GALLERY ON STE HELP.IT WAS AFTER THE HURRICANE CAME BACK THROUGH THE ISLANDS UNTIL A FRIEND OF MINE AND I GOT ON THE PHONE AND WITHIN TWO HOURS WE HAD 20 ARTISTS IN TOTAL WHO HAD RALLIED AROUND AND BROUGHT ARTWORK TO MY HOUSE THAT WE THEN HAD TAKEN DOWN TO THE ISLANDS AND PUT ON A HOLIDAY ISLAND FESTIVAL AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WE MADE ENOUGH MONEY TO HELP THE GALLERY OWNER PAY SOME BILLS AND WE REALIZED WE WANTED TO KEEP DOING THIS.

SO EARLY 2019 WE HAD A MEETING AND ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON WE HAD 40 PEOPLE SHOW UP AND I WAS BEGINNING TO REALIZE THAT WAS THE CONNECTION OF THE AHA GROUP.

IT IS BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO TOWNS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY ARTISTS ARE THOSETHAT HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE.

>> SHE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BOOSTERS OF AHA.

>> I JUST THINK THE WHOLE IDEA, ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS.

AND WHENEVER YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY WITH ANY BUSINESS THATIS LOOKING OUT FOR AND WANTING THEIR COMPETITOR AND ALSO BE SUCCESSFUL, I DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN MISS.

IT HAS NOT BEEN IN EXISTENCE.

BUT IT HAS GROWN AND EVENTUALLY WILL PROBABLY BECOME MORE OF A FORMALIZED GROUP OF SOME SORT.

>> MAKING A DOWNTOWN BUILDING AND ADJACENT AREA AVAILABLE TO AHA.

THEY ARE DOING POP-UP SHOWSMOSTLY ON A MONTHLY BASIS AND WE WERE THERE FOR A VALENTINES WEEKEND SHOW AND WE SPOKE TO SOME OF THE ARTISTS THEY ARE.

>> JUST THE WAY THAT THESE FOLKS WORK TOGETHER, THIS IS ME.

BUT EVERYBODY IS HERE TO HELP ONE ANOTHER AND DO WHAT THEY CAN TO SUPPORT AND ALSO HELP PROMOTE WHAT ARTISTS ARE DOING AND THAT IS A TALENTED GROUP OF PEOPLE RIGHT THERE.

IT ISN'T OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE WITH PEOPLE TO HAVE THINGS SEEN, WE ARE VERY HUNGRY AS A BREW AND WE LOVE PRODUCING THINGS, BUT WE WANT THINGS TO BE SEEN, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THEM PURCHASED TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE AND WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT PRETTY WELL HERE.

>> I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.

I KNOW MANY OF THE ARTISTS AND JUST THE COMMUNITY FEELING OFEVERYBODY GETTING OUT AND SEEING EACH OTHER'S WORK AND I DO ENJOY IT SEEING THE OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK AND WE ALL SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

>> I THINK IF THE LEADERSHIP IS MAKING IT HAPPEN.

LIKE IT PARTICULARLY A PARTICULARLY WITH THIS GROUP, WE ARE WILLING TO SHOW UP AND WE ARE WILLING TO GIVE UP OUR TIME AND ENERGY TO DISPLAY THIS.

>> THE IDEA IS TO MAKE ART EXPERIENCES AVAILABLE IN A FUN AND CASUAL SETTING.

AND THE PUBLIC GETS TO EXPERIENCE A WIDE EXPERIENCE OF ART.

>> WE ARE WORKING ON BUDGET AND BYLAWS AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR THE FORMATION OF THE CO-OP.

WE DID NOT WANT TO JUST JUMP INTO THAT.

WE WANTED TO SEE IF THE MARKET WOULD BEAR THE PRESENT OF THIS.

AND THERE'S AN AREA IN THE BACK THAT IS GOING TO BE PERFECT FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO TEACH.

WE HAVE A CLASS ALREADY SCHEDULED TO COME OUT NEXT MONTH AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, IF THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTS IT AND IF WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION OUT AND BRINGING IN THE AUDIENCE FROM AROUND HAVANA AND IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE MORE PERMANENT.

>> IF I CAN PICK UP ALL THOSE PEOPLE FROM RAILROAD SQUARE AND PUT THEM DOWN HERE, THAT IS THE HOOK THAT I NEED.

WITH THAT COMES NOT ONLY DOES THE ART GALLERY ITSELF BUT RINGING INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE IN TO LOOK AT MY PAINTINGS THAT YOU HAVE IN THIS TOWN IS BEAUTIFUL.

YOU CAN PICK ANY CORNER WHETHER IT DOWNTOWN WHERE THE OUTLYING AREAS.I'VE GOT OLD BUILDINGS AND ITS HISTORIC AND YOU CAN PAINT THAT STUFF ALL DAY LONG.PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME LOOK AT THAT AND THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT CROWD THAN WHAT I HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR.

WE CAN BE KNOWN FOR JEWELRY MAKING AS WELL.

THEY WILL MAKE A PIECE ESPECIALLY FOR YOU.

ALL OF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN MISSING AND I THINK THAT IT IS WELL THAT WE HAVE GOING ON SO FAR ARE YOU.

>> IN HAVANA, MY PLUMBER FOR WFSU.

>> THE NEXT POP-UP IS SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, FROM APRIL 10, 10:00 A.M. TO 5:00 P.M.

LEARN MORE AT HAVANA MAIN STREET.COM.

AND A BIG PART OF THE TALLAHASSEE NIGHTLIFE.

ONE WAS PART OF THE MUSIC SCENE.

IT WAS FOUNDED YEARS AGO TO HELP LOCAL MUSICIANS RECORD MUSIC AND BOOK SHOWS.

WITH THE PANDEMIC, THEY HAD TO REFOCUS THEIR MISSION.

>> TALLAHASSEE HAS TWO MAJOR UNIVERSITIES AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH LEARNING AND RESEARCH AND ALSO A CONSISTENT CYCLE OF YOUNG ADULTS MIGRATING TO THE CITY ANNUALLY TO PURSUE AN EDUCATION.

AND THAT INCLUDES COLLEGE KIDS AND GRADUATE STUDENT IN THE CAPITAL CITY.

FOR THESE BROTHERS, MUSIC BECAME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THEIR LIVESIN TALLAHASSEE.

>> MY BROTHER AND I HAD KIND OF TALKED ABOUT DOING MUSIC FOR A LONG TIME.

PLAYING DRUMS AND DOING SOMETHING MUSICAL FOR HIS ENTIRE LIFE.I HAD A PRETTY LATE START, I WAS PROBABLY 27 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST STARTED PLAYING GUITAR.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

WE HAVE THIS MUTUAL LOVE FOR MUSIC, KIND OF THE CORE OF OUR BROTHERLY RELATIONSHIP AND SO I HAD AN OFFER FOR GRAD SCHOOL.

AND IT FROM DAY NUMBER ONE WE JUST GOT INVOLVED.

>> ALWAYS SUCH INCREDIBLY TALENTED MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS.

>> RIGHT WHEN WE MOVED, WE PLAYED THE LOCAL BARS, LOCAL STUDIOS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

WE FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO PRODUCE , WE WERE IN A CIRCLE OF PEOPLE AND WHEN THEY HIT A FEW PEOPLE UP AND I WAS LIKE NO, I HAVE A NAME FOR IT ALREADY AND I KNOW WHAT A RECORD LABEL DOES AND WE SHOULD TRY IT.

>> BORNE OUT OF NECESSITY, THEY WERE FOUNDED IN 2016 AND ABOUT 2.5 YEARS LATER IT BECAME A REGISTERED NONPROFIT.

THEY SAY THAT THEIR MISSION WAS CLEAR.TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS AS THEY WORK.IT HAS GIVEN MUSICIANS A PLATFORM AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY SAY IS OTHERWISE TO COME BY VERY DIFFICULT, INCLUDING THOSE WITH PROMISING SOLO ARTISTS INTO A FULL-FLEDGED BAN.

THAT GROUP IS CALLED BANDANNA OR ANNA GRIFFITH AND THE BAND COMPRISED OF TIM AND MASON AND SCOTT'S BROTHER, NICK.

>> WHEN SHE APPROACHED ME OUTSIDE, I THINK THAT WE STARTED OFF RECORDING THIS.

>> WE WERE WORKING AND VOLUNTEERING THEIR IN THE WAY THAT I LIKE TO TELL A STORY AND THEN I SAID YES.

>> WE HAD A FRIDAY MORNING JAZZ SESSION.

AND SO WE WERE HAVING A GREAT TIME.

>> THAT WAS RECORDED IN OUR STUDIO SPACE AS WELL.WE HAD SOME GOOD SUCCESS AND IT WAS PICKED UP BY AN OFFICIAL PLAYLIST AND THAT IS WHEN IT SUDDENLY EXPLODED.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> BANDANNA HAD FIRE ESCAPE AS THEIR FIRST SINGLE, WITH THE HELP OF A TEAM OF DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS THAT HELP THEM TO RECORD AND MANAGE THE MEDIA FORTHE MUSICIANS.

>> ALL OF OUR SUCCESS HAS BEEN AT THE HANDS OF VERY GENEROUS VOLUNTEERS.ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO IS A REVOLVING DOOR WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT.

AND THERE ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME.AND THAT WE HAVE LEARNED SPIN AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CYCLE PEOPLE IN AND USE THAT AS A DRINK.

USING EXAMPLES, ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT I THINK HELPED TO STRENGTHEN THINGS.

MOST OF THE FUNDING WAS COMING FROM EVENTS, BUT I THINK WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST TO STOP SHOWS AND WE WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE HOPE TO START UP AGAIN.

THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF EVERYONE INVOLVED.

SEVERAL VENUES HAVE CLOSED AND LOCALLY WE HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT MORE SERIOUS ABOUT WRITING GRANTS AND WE HAVE SOME ASSISTANCE AND WE HAVE KIND OF HAD TO ADJUST AND THAT INCLUDES VIDEO PRODUCTION ART AS WELL.

AND WE ARE SORT OF LOCKED INSIDE FOR A WHILE AFTER COVID-19 BROKE OUT.THE FIRST SEASON WAS FUN.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF MUSICAL SUCCESS TODAY, A LOT OF ARTIST SUCCESS THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO US AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR IT.

THIS IS SORT OF THE LAST FRONTIER AND WE ARE GOING TO START INCORPORATING THIS, WE STARTED OFF AS A RECORD LABEL THAT WE HAVE QUICKLY GROWN INTO MORE OF AN ART COLLECTIVE.

>> THE LABEL FINDS ITS FOOTING AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR THE BURGEONING ARTISTS FROM THE BEGINNING.

>> KIND OF APPROACHING IT FROM THIS ANGLE BUT THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME AND I CAN DO ALL THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE THINK.

SO IF YOU START FROM THE ASSUMPTION, VERSUS PEOPLE THAT SHARE THE SAME OUTLOOK, YOU START TO SEE THIS SNOWBALLING IN THIS NETWORK WITH THIS KIND OF COLLECTIVE ACTION.

JUST BY CHANGING THE ATTITUDE AROUND IT.

♪ ♪ >> FOR WFSU, YOU CAN FIND MORE ON OUR WEBSITE ON YOUR SCREEN.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS GROUP ACTUALLY HAS ANOTHER NAME?

JUNO THAT THE SOILS IN SOUTH TALLAHASSEE WERE ONCE SANDY OCEAN BOTTOM?

WE HAVE THE LEON COUNTY EXTENSION TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SOIL OF TALLAHASSEE.

>> WHEN YOU THINK OF AN ECOSYSTEM AS A WHOLE, AND THIS COULD BE ONE IN THE NATIONAL FOREST WHERE THIS COULD BE THE ECOSYSTEM THAT MAKES UP THE LAWN AND GARDEN, IT INCLUDES THE ANIMALS AND PLANTS AND SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T OFTEN THINK ABOUT IS THIS RECIPE.

>> THE SOIL MICROBES AND OTHER THINGS GOING ON THAT MAKES THIS POSSIBLE, IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.SO TAKE GOOD CARE AND DON'T CALL IT DIRTY.

>> IS THAT SANDY OR IS THAT CLAY?

♪ ♪ >> LET'S SEE WHAT WE GET RIGHT HERE.>> TODAY WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOIL AND IMPACTS ON PLANT GROWTH.THE OVERALL TEXTURE OF YOUR SOIL.FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT LIVE IN LEON COUNTY, THEY HIT WHAT TENDS TO BE CALLED CLAYEY ALIVE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF SAND.

>> THIS USED TO BE SANDY OCEAN BOTTOM.

>> THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A SOIL PROFILE OPENING UP.

IT WILL SHOW IT IS MUCH CLEANER.

>> WHEN WE THINK ABOUT SOIL IT IS A LIVING THING AND IT'S MADE UP OF EITHER STAND OR SOLD OR CLAY AND PART OF ROCKS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THEAPPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS.

>> WE WERE AT THE LEON COUNTY EXTENSION OFFICE AND WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS SITE HERE JUST ON THE EDGE OF WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT AND SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLAY IN THIS TYPE OF SOIL RIGHT HERE.

AND SEE, WE ARE GETTING DOWN TO SOME MORE STUFF RIGHT THERE.

EVEN THAT ORANGE AND BRITISH COUNTY.IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE CLAY WITH THE IRON OXIDE AND IT'S A CLASS INVESTIGATION OF THAT TYPE.AND YOU START TO PUT TOGETHER AND YOU COULD ALSO MAKE THIS SO IT COMES TOGETHER.

IN THIS RIBBON IS PRETTY LONG AND IT BREAKS.IF YOU TAKE THIS MATERIAL, THE FINE CLAY PARTICLES ARE ALMOST UP.

AND IT FEELS LIKE THE SIZE OF THE GRAIN IS AFFECTING SOIL STRUCTURE.THE DIFFERENCE THERE IS THE SIZE.

REALLY BIG, WE HAVE SOME SILT AND CLAY IS TINY GRAINS SO THAT MORE OF THE LARGER GRAINS THAT WE HAVE TOGETHER, YOU HAVE THESE BIG SAND GRAINS TIGHTLY PACKED TOGETHER.>> WHEN YOU HAVE HEALTHY SOIL ABSORBS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF IT BEFORE IT SATURATES AND WATER STARTS TO RUN OFF.

>> YOU WON'T WATER AND AIR MOVEMENT, BUT YOU DON'T WANT ALL SAND OR ALL CLAY BECAUSE IDEALLY YOU WANT SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE THAT MAKES THE WATER GO THROUGH SLOWLY BUT NOT TOO QUICKLY, SOMETHING THAT THE PLANTS CANPICK UP AND ALSO AIR MOVEMENT MOVING THROUGHOUT THE VEINS BECAUSE THE ROOTS OF THE PLANTS ACTUALLY NEED OXYGEN.

>> EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF SOIL COMPOSITION, ORGANIC MATTER IS IMPORTANT TO PLANTS.>> ONE THING HOMEOWNERS CAN DO IS BE ADDING MULCH AND COMPOST AND EFFORT TO DEVELOP THAT REALLY NICE TOP LAYER OF ORGANIC MATTER.

WHEN YOU HAVE ORGANIC MATTER IN THE SOIL THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN WHAT HAPPENS WITH MOISTURE AND RAIN.

SOIL THAT IS LOW IN ORGANIC MATTER CAN ABSORB AND MOST OF IT RUNS OFF CARRYING SOIL AND NUTRIENTS WITH IT.

WHEN YOU BUILD A HEALTHY SOIL, THE MICROBES AND DOING ALL THAT ACTIVITY ACTUALLY CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF THE SOIL.

>> TUNE INTO LOCAL ROUTES ON APRIL 8 TO SEE HOW WE CAN TURN WASTE INTO NUTRIENT RICH SOIL.

WE HAVE THE ECOLOGY TO DIG DEEPER INTO THE SOILS OF THE AREA.ONE OF THE FUN THINGS HERE AT THE LAKE OR THE PURPLE MARTINS.

SAYING THAT IN ANOTHER SIGN OF SPRING, THESE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS HAVE RETURNED.

♪ ♪ >> THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP BIRDING SPOTS IN THE AREA AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY COLLECT A LOT OF TRASH.IF YOU WANT TO HELP OUT THE DOGS WERE THE SPORTS OR ANY OTHER WILDLIFE, THERE'S A WAY YOU CAN HELP.CHLOE THOMPSON SHOWS US HOW.

>> THERE IS PRETTY COOL PLACE HERE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS PRETTY FULL OF TRASH AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

JOIN US ON SATURDAY, MARCH 27 AT 10:00 A.M. WITH APALACHEE AUDUBON OR A LAKE WIDE CLEANUP AND MAKE SURE TO REGISTER ON YOUR SCREEN AT THE ADDRESS GIVEN.
