In one inspiring evening, a handful of short (6-minute) performances and presentations by an unexpected assortment of area artists and community voices, who are otherwise unlikely to share a stage together.

A celebration of the rich diversity of creative talent in our community – from those who have achieved widespread recognition to those who manage to thrive in the shadows of the prevailing spotlight. The event is intended to provide joyful evidence of the essential value of the arts to a healthy, positive, authentic democracy.

And it will all take place at the Rock Shop Academy, a treasure of a venue buried in the heart of downtown at 1109 De La Vina St.
