Journey - "Art as a journey, not a destination."
Behind every piece of art, and every artist, there’s a person on a journey. One of inspiration and doubt. Breakthroughs and setbacks. Fear and excitement. Struggle and transformation. Searching and finding. Again and again. Just like any of us, a journey of discovery.

So, what is Journey?
Journey is more than an evening of soul-full performances. It’s where art connects, tells stories, and communicates emotions. A space where art lets others feel what the artist has felt, and where we can experience their world through their creation.
More than a finished product, it’s a reminder of why we create. A reflection of the journey behind each piece. A chance to recognize ourselves in the struggles and joys of others.
Each artist shares what defines their journey. Some create live. Others bring pieces shaped over years, but all share something defining. Art that holds their key moments, lessons, discoveries and that what made them who they are. Because some stories can’t be told with words alone or at all, but shared through our art so they can be felt.
An evening shaped by one question:
"If you had to choose the pieces of art that best define you, represent your artistic journey, and tell your story better than explaining ever could, what would they be?"
How the evening unfolds:
● The Journey Leader: One artist creates live, across six 5-minute chapters.
● Four performances: Between chapters, four artists take the stage for 15-20 minutes each.
● Open Mic: Two open spots invite anyone who feels the need to share their piece.
● Different art forms, music, dance, film, poetry, painting, and more, telling stories that connect us all, with or without words.
No script. No set themes. Just contrast, connection, and recognition.
Art meets art and people find shared stories in unexpected ways.
By the end of the night, it won’t be just the art you remember.
But the journey behind it, the moments shared and the connections made.
