Open Music Sessions at Denver Open Media, December 4
On the first Friday of each month, DOM hosts a community event with local performance groups, musical acts and nonprofit partners. These events are broadcast live on Comcast Channel 57 in Denver as well as streamed on DOM's website.  Events are cablecast and streamed live in Denver Open Media's Studio A.

Join DOM for this month's Open Music Sessions as part of the Open Media Foundation Anniversary Party on Friday, December 4, featuring a live musical performance by Chimney Choir.

Motion by Chimney Choir

Chimney Choir is a group of talented multi-instrumentalists with an old-timey sound. They have the usual roots of Americana and folk, but the character of their melodic folk sound hinges largely on a skillful balancing of freaky vocal interplay with computer synths, traditional acoustics and kitchen sink percussion.

The Anniversary Party begins at 7 pm, with the live show and concert beginning at 8 pm. Join us for this FREE event, complete with food and drinks!

Open Media Foundation Anniversary Party


Open Media Foundation is hosting our annual Anniversary Party at Denver Open Media on December 4th from 7 - 10:30 pm. This is a free, celebratory event for all ages! With food donated by Illegal Pete'sNoodles & Co, and Cosmo's Pizza, come early to grab a plate and watch OMF's Open Music Sessions (see above), with the band Chimney Choir starting at 8pm.

During the evening, we will present the Independent Voice of the Year Award to Jamie Laurie of the Flobots. Independent Voices Awards will also go to Creating Transitions and the Colorado Education Initiative. For Denver Open Media producers, we will also announce this year's Top Rated Show and the producer with the Most Content Submitted.

It's OMF's biggest event of the year, and we want you to be a part of it! Donations will be accepted at our food and beverage stations.
Silent Auction
Let the bidding begin!!! The Open Media Foundation annual silent auction is open and runs through December 4th at 10:30 pm.

TABOR & Its Effect on Property Tax
TABOR & Its Effect on Property Tax

According to a study by the Colorado Futures Center, more than 80% of Coloradans pay more in school property taxes than they would have if voters had never enacted TABOR (the Taxpayer Bill of Rights). Open Media Foundation's Video Production Services department recently finished a video for Colorado Futures Center (part of Colorado State University) exploring this issue. The 4-1/2 minute animation examines TABOR and its effect on school property tax.
