2024 Season

That’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2024 Season such a success!

After the departure of Kristen, our beloved Co-Founding Artistic Director, we dug our toes (pun definitely intended!) into the mud of our mission and, inspired by the new energy of welcoming Chantelle into the Co-Artistic Director role - we forged ahead with sharing art, connecting people!
