The Enoch Pratt Free Library Performing and Visual Arts Gala & Showcase

ATTENDEES: All are welcome

ATTIRE: Street or Stylin'

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Part 1 - A fully produced showcase of performance art and presentation of visual art, incubated during the artist's residency.
Part 2 - A celebratory affair with food (of course, from a local business featured in the food event from the "Immerse in Art" series), music, and dancing.
A safe and celebratory space for the creators of art, those who attended events during the residency, to display their work, if they wish. And a chance for the community to take part in the spirit and joy that comes from seeing their community peers art creations.
Yes... of course, there will be a (homemade) photo booth.

I really want to share the one-of-a-kind feeling and energy that comes from an "Opening Night" for the artists in our community, who created alongside me during my residency.
So often an everyday person thinks of them self as a "mere mortal", even a neophyte, in the art world.
I want people to experience what they see in the movies or read about in the Style section of the newspaper.

The culmination of my artist residency should be more about those I have inspired and enabled than about me. Or really, by making it about them, it's how we can make my work feel complete. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing the joy someone else gets from something I helped them create, or made possible for them to create.
