THE NEST

A Place for Young Artists

Citizen Arts is launching a new program, The Nest, aimed at supporting young artists in the early stages of developing their craft. The Nest provides space and resources for those embarking on new artistic journeys to cultivate their ideas and share them with audiences. This program supports artists between the ages of 18 and 26 who are working in the performing or visual arts.

Believing emerging artists need community as well as resources and mentorship, The Nest’s second event brings together performers and visual artists to share and celebrate their work. In the tradition of the artistic cabarets of over a century ago, we’ll be hosting an evening of short performances and an exhibition of new visual artworks.

We open the doors at 1:30 p.m. Come in and enjoy the visual art before the performances begin at 2:00. There will be music, puppets, spoken-word poetry, and much more!

Like all The Nest events, tickets are free!! Just reserve a spot by clicking below!
