______________________ I spent my June in the presence of dozens of artists & community members & champions for the arts as part of Amphibian Stage's SparkFest again this year, and yet again have a just a singular photo to represent such a multi-faceted, vibrant experience. Within this photo are dozens of new play writers, directors, & actors whose care brought 3 plays to life at the developmental stage. There’s a mural on the far wall crafted beautifully, thoughtfully, and in community by Thu Anh Nguyen & Philippa Hughes. Performances by Arkai Music, Shafi Hossain, Umami Playground, local community storytellers, & our wonderful acting competition finalists filled this very space for 2 1/2 fantastic weeks. Hundreds of patrons came, invested, and engaged with artistic programming in a state that ranks #42 in state artistic funding. And yet, these weeks were filled with love and vibrant artistry. This photo also holds an arts admin team of Amphibian's staff & my superhero fellow apprentice Alex Voeller, from whom I learned so much and am excited to see go out and create more spaces for art in the world. All my love to each of you! 💚
