NapTime

by Jane Herzog, Carly Schoen, Tuk Vaughankraska, and Angela Yonke


Close your eyes and drift to sleep. Let the collective unconsciousness wash over you. Dream beneath layers of thread and fabric. Possibilities and alternate realities await you.


We have a passion for working with fabric and sewn mediums. This show gathers together blankets, quilts, and textile works from artists Jane Herzog, Carly Schoen, Tuk Vaughankraska, and Angela Yonke

There is a Season

Madison Perrins



These paintings created by Madison Perrins were guided by an appreciation for the singular energy each season of life can bring to the outer and inner landscape. The artist uses her understanding that each season contains its own unique lesson to try and enjoy the gift of them in real time: the mercurial quality of spring, the whisper of solitude in fall, or the bright shock of summer. Her work lifts up a deeply personal spirituality held in the landscape, especially inspired by the sweeping expanses of the Western US & her beloved Montana. In turns, her imagery embodies joy, playfulness, power, the sacred, interiority, and radiant energy.

AUDITIONS: HOLIDAY NOIR

Holiday Noir celebrates the season as an unconventional and artistic variety show for adults.  It is saucy and provocative, tipping traditional holiday celebrations on their head and showcasing wit and humor through mischievous performance acts. 


We will be holding auditions September 24, 25, or 26 (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). Auditions will run every 10 minutes with performers having 3 minutes to show their act. The show dates are December 6 & 7. Please fill out the Google Form below to snag an audition slot!


Acts should be holiday-themed, lean into the saucy/adults-only nature of Holiday Noir, embrace humor, and most of all, be entertaining. Limit audition to 3 minutes, and please note that all acts are subject to edits by our production team. 


All types of performance artists are encouraged to audition! Bring the fire (not literally, please) and bring the fun. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got!


Searching for:

Burlesque acts with a witty holiday spin

Provocative Magician

Drummers, specifically for a drum line

Advanced Juggler

Dancers

Any other circus-type acts that are in-line with the overall feel of the show
