May 12, 2007, I participated in the 3rd Annual Hope Fellowship Arts festival. The afternoon was an incredible display of artwork by local artists. In the evening they hosted a performing arts showcase that ranged from dance to hiphop to music to poetry reading. What I loved about the evening was the sheer variety of talent. Really. I’m ever so grateful that I was able to be a part of this collage since it isn’t often that you’re given the opportunity to play before an enthusiastic audience (was about 150-200) who unconditionally took in everything. I fed off the energy and I loved it.
Hey Steve, I’m glad you guys were able to participate and that you enjoyed the event! I too was excited about the “change of scenery”. It’s nice to share our art with more “public” audiences. It reminds me of why I started all this in the first place. Best!
