Each study brings an entirely new pattern of decision making. Instagrams: @superficialcrystal @laurawitsken

Our showcases are currently performed in outdoor, public spaces. All of our showcases use suggested donation or sliding scale ticket prices in order to remove financial barriers and make art more accessible to the public. Current is fiscally sponsored by Unique Projects, Inc., and we appreciate your donations to support the artists.
