The 2nd annual Summer SOULstice will be held on Friday June 21, 2019 from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Tacoma Art Museum (TAM). Last year's event was such a success and we are thrilled that TAM is hosting it again. SOULstice was created by Kellie Richardson (artist and former Poet Laureate), to center and celebrate radical resilience and creativity in communities of color, particularly Black, Brown, Indigenous and LGBTQ artists. SOULstice will be an intersection of creativity, community and commerce. June 21st marks summer solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year. SOULstice will hold space to celebrate this annual miracle by featuring emerging and established artists from marginalized communities. The work featured will carry themes of awakening and healing, personal connection to Earth and spirit, as well as the thread of human experience that runs through us all. The weight of historical oppression, generational trauma has never diminished the indelible joy, creativity, innovation and pride of marginalized people. SOULstice underscores this victory. Deadline for applications is May 28, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Please forward your questions/concerns to brownbetty253@gmail.com. Thanks for your interest!
