7:00 - 11:00 PM ET

  • Community Hosted
  • Homegrown Criminals Redacted Art Show

    Art has always been one of the most powerful forms of resistance.

    Homegrown Criminals: Redacted is a renegade art show bringing together artists, musicians, poets, comedians, and community members for a night of creativity, fellowship, and defiance.

    This event highlights the role of art as a tool for expression, resistance, and storytelling in times when voices are often silenced. We are creating a space where artists and community members can gather, share work, and build connections.

    The evening will feature visual art displays, live performances, and community dialogue.

    This event also serves as a benefit art show, and artists are encouraged (but not required) to donate a small percentage of any sales to the beneficiary of the show.

    Join us for a powerful night of art, creativity, and community.

    Art as an act of resistance.
