JOY

Being a socially engaged artist can be exhausting. Standing on the frontlines of activist movements is often draining. Working for JUSTICE takes hard work, focus, and longstanding dedication. We’re here for all of this, and we’re also here for JOY. Join us for Party Noire Presents: JOY at the Stony Island Arts Bank on Friday, April 21st. With a performance by KC Ortiz, music by Party Noire’s co-founder and DJ Rae Chardonnay, and additional Party Noire co-founders and hosts Nick Alder and Lauren Ash, this evening is sure to be your necessary release, turn up, and joyful connection with other Open Engagement attendees.

Ste. Martean will be on site with a delicious vegan soul food menu available to keep you dancing late into the night.
