Please join us for the Afrolistic Healing Arts Festival on May 2nd & 3rd!
This is the largest event I've ever produced and I am a little nervous that we're not going to be able to fill the space. I know I have an amazing team of collaborators and an awesome community. Please support some incredible artists, healers, and community workers as we explore the healing impact of the arts.
We will have 2 days of unique and engaging programming including panel discussions, poetry, dance, music, & sound healing featuring a diverse group of Black artists and practitioners.
