		C3 Events (entertainment) We at Cameron Clark Concert Productions/C3 Events see our role as that of "brokers of magic." What, after all, is more mysterious, beautiful, and filled with wonderment than the arts? Indeed, music, dance, visual arts, and poetry are tools with which we can all pause and celebrate what Johnny Clegg calls this "cruel, crazy, beautiful world." We use the arts much like contractors, building bridges to "community." For the past 15 years we have offered Central Oregon a powerful antidote to ideological differences that sometimes divide our community. Our productions are designed as "calls to connection," furthering our mission of contributing to this area's healthy sense of union. We hope you enjoy our bridges, our magic, our events.
