As part of the Soundcheck Arts and Music Festival in March of this year, the City opened its historic City Council Chambers for performances by local musicians, poets, and theatre artists. Based on the success of this event, it is launching a stand-alone series, Performances for the People, on selected Saturday afternoons ahead of ArtWalk. The first will take place on Saturday, October 3rd from 4:00-6:00pm at City Council Chambers, 540 Water Street, after the Kinetic Skulpture Race and events. It will feature youth musicians Jill & Kevin w/ The Other Guys, Ben Wilson and Kevyn Rubio of folk-rock band Wilderson, and Poet Townsend Poet Laureate Rufina C. Garay along with other poets.
Performances for the People is slated to happen three times annually, with the next event happening March 6, 2027. Interested performing artists are encouraged to apply at the "more info" link below.
