In recognition of fifteen years of advocacy for genre-defying artistic projects, High Concept Labs is throwing a party and inviting everyone to an evening of exploration, collaboration, and celebration!
Creative attire is encouraged: Party-goers are invited to make the pop-up photo studio their first stop! Photographer Jovan Landry will be on hand through 8pm to capture fun and festive portraits.
In addition to enjoying drinks and light bites, scoping out the silent auction and placing bids on artwork, cultural experiences, and home goods, and learning more about the history and future of HCL, avery r. young will take the stage. Embracing the mission to bring visibility to the creative process, avery r. young will perform a mercy: new work, a spontaneous composition for a new score in development that intersects language, sound, and the city's history.
Plus, throughout the evening, Regina Martinez (aka selective listening) will be spinning vinyl and inspiring folks to galvanize on the dance floor and find joy through movement.
Each ticket sale supports the HCL Anniversary Campaign and accessible residency programs that help artists thrive by providing time and space to ideate, iterate, risk-take, and collaborate.
