LIV Fest
Welcome to LIV Fest!
Last year, I was awarded an artist grant by CultureWorks. The CultureWorks Grants Program provides funding for diverse nonprofit organizations and practicing local artists, for initiatives that benefit the Richmond and Tri-Cities region; specifically the cities of Richmond, Colonial Heights, Hopewell, and Petersburg, along with the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan, and the town of Ashland. Because of this grant, I am now happy to announce LIV Fest!
LIV Fest will be giving young artists an opportunity to connect with the Petersburg arts community in a tangible way. Without creating spaces like this, students may never have the chance to connect with mentors in the industries they're interested in or get involved with the Richmond and Tri-Cities' arts community.
This will be an immersive, hands-on experience. Even if you're not an artist, manager, or fan, please choose a role and come up with a fictitious name to participate in all activities.
