stART Talking ~ Giving voice. Sharing concerns.
The Custer County Democratic Party in partnership with the Custer Area Arts Council and The Custer Beacon is excited to announce a new community event called stART Talking ~ Giving voice. Sharing concerns.
This collaborative art event will take place on Saturday, November 8th beginning at 4:00 pm. But much needs to happen before then and we'd appreciate your participation and help to spread the word.
We aspire to use art as the vehicle for conversation, bringing people together to express and experience how individually and in community we’re being impacted by current events.
To make this a successful event, we are looking for artists and art enthusiasts to participate. We're requesting submissions of all skill levels and all art forms including visual, spoken word, music, and performance.
Maybe you create music that reflects your mood.
Maybe you perform expressive dance to lift your spirits.
Perhaps your mood comes out on a canvas or sketch pad.
Maybe a pen and notebook are your favorite tools for telling your story.
Perhaps you doodle as a distraction.
Maybe you've written a poem that reflects your feelings. Share it with others by hanging it on the "Poet Tree" the night of the show.
Maybe you've attended a rally or protest whose purpose affected you, your family, or friends. Bring your protest sign to display and inspire others.
Be seen. Be heard. Belong. Share your works of protest, resistance, hope, and healing.
Prefer to remain anonymous? No problem. Just let us know when you complete the registration form in the links provided below.
