Finally, hometown hero and LuckyMe recording artist Lunice will put on the party of the year and also partake in a special interactive beatmaking workshop that’s guaranteed to leave the audience inspired.

On the Art POP front, we’re thrilled to be collaborating with the Never Apart art space to present G.R.O.S.S., an all-female multimedia group show featuring artists Tricia MiddletonNadine FarajRebecca Storm and Jana Sterbak. The exhibit opens July 13th and will run throughout the festival, revealing in the guck, ooze, rot, leaks, and stray hairs and exploring the balance between revulsion and attraction.
