About this Event
One part preschool "Show and Tell Day", one part collective resistance, and one part cool, weird art shit — HERE: together is an event unlike any other. October 26th 3-5pm @ Newport Theater
Come to be in community and bring whatever creative force your heart desires. This event is pay-what-you-can ($10 suggested) and we ask that you RSVP whether you're sharing or not.
Ways to participate:
1. Share Your Art
2. Witness Art Being Shared
Share Your Art
Is it an act in progress? Sure! A strange talent you want to show off? Ok! Are you a visual artist or a comedian working on a new piece? Tell us about it! This time is for us to witness one another in our multifaceted human expression. There is no expectation that what you share needs to be a polished, completed piece of art. We're defining art loosely, too!
To share please complete the form below. These are on a first come, first served basis. There are 15 slots, we ask that whatever you share sticks to a maximum of 4 minutes.
Witness Art Being Shared
Whether you want to be in community, socialize, bring a friend, or stop by for a while, we would love to be together with you.
