The concert will raise funds to support the Imagination Station’s transformation of its houses and vacant lots into a creative campus built on community, technology, sustainability and the arts. The vision includes establishing a media center, open air public art gallery and living quarters. It will be a model green rehab— a demonstration center for the incorporation of innovative renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies such as geothermal heating, Energy Star Appliances, electric car charging systems and residential solar systems. The Imagination Station is a new nonprofit organization that is partnering with Barefield’s 33-year-old nonprofit arts organization, the Creative Arts Collective.
