About this Event
CONCENERGY 2022: THE FUTURE IS NOW
ATC Festivals hosts many festivals; however, our largest and most creative is the CONCENERGY year-end series which always occurs on the 2nd weekend of December. Think of it as a combined year-end celebration and platform for emerging artists, designers, and small businesses to announce and launch their brand and its offerings for the upcoming year. We are all about supporting local, so in this space, you will find the who’s who of emerging artists, businesses, their supporters, and fans.
FRIDAY EVENING - Free to the public w/registration
7pm - 12am
HOLIDAY WINTER MARKET
Yes, we do mix business with pleasure. This year we will select 20 vendors who will sell everything from baked goods to inspired visual art at our indoor vendor market. But shopping is only one piece of the pie. Behind the scenes, small businesses, artists, and the community to network and connect within the space.
EMERGING ARTIST SHOWCASE
Several local emerging musical artists will showcase their latest releases and announce tour dates. All showcases occur indoors, on the main stage opposite of the vendor market
SATURDAY EVENTS - ADVANCE TICKET REQUIRED
11am -2pm
FASHION AND HAIR SHOWS; PANELS & DISCUSSIONS
Industry experts in the fields of music and hair participate in panel talks and discussions. Get up and close and personal with the experts.
Emerging fashion designers will exhibit their latest collections. Hairstylist and barbers will showcase their most exuberant styles and participate in "best of the best" competitions.
THE CONCENERGY ARTISTS BALL
8pm - 1am
*Complimentary wine (8pm - 9pm) and hors d'oeuvres during the CONCENERGY Artists Ball on Saturday. Attire: avant-garde
The CONCENERGY BALL is a multi-genre industry celebration that serves as the culminating event of the weekend. Musicians, visual artists, poets, and small businesses come together in a combined end-of-year celebration. Anyone who appreciates art, culture, and supporting local is welcome to attend and fully participate in all activities.
Admittedly, the Ball is a little over the top (think Met Gala but with more swank and local flair). Attire is avant-garde, creative, and futuristic. The theme this year is “The Future Is Now”, so put a little thought into your dress.
Expect a red carpet event with live music, fashion exhibitions, hair show and competitions, visual art, poetry exhibitions, late-night food trucks, craft cocktails. There will be plenty of opportunities to dance and engage.
So, come one, come all! Show us your most creative, over the top attire. Reunite with old friends at the Artists Ball or create memories with new friends.
