The Young Artist Mixer series was launched to answer one question: How do we provide a space for young creatives to connect and move their work forward in a relaxed social environment? At our Mixers, we bring together Boston’s young performing-artists, ages 18-25 for a night of fun and connection centered around a critical question that helps them reframe thinking, add new depth to their work and meet new people in different and exciting ways.

​

One Night in Wakdanda is our inaugural mixer and was specially selected as an Art Week event. Headlined by Neo Gcabo, produced and performed by artists and arts-managers all under the age of 29, our special art-week twist is the immersive South-African performance experience. While like all of our mixers the evening is centered around a central question meant to guide young artists forward in their work, we’ve compounded that with a musical and culinary journey through South Africa and the Diaspora.

​

On this special evening we’ll provide context and a jumping-off point for discussing culture, art, its intersections and the empowerment young people feel when living their authentic lives.
