Event Description

In celebration of February and Black History Month, amplify the voices of black creatives in the community and honor their ancestors!

Sunday Service is a non-denominational program that will allow performers and guests to honor their blackness and that of the ones who came before them through various methods of storytelling and altar building. 

For the community altar, please bring photos and anything else that reminds you of those who have inspired you and transitioned. 

There will be 15 Open Mic slots available to artists of all creative mediums. 

There will also be a visual art pop-up from artist Eleven, and art will be available for sale and ready to take home the same day!
