From our outset curator this month Christian San Lucas!!

“I’m so grateful to debut myself this month by sharing the stage with two amazing local talents, {@rudy} & {@renata}. These artists always bring something invigorating to the table when freely improvising 

This will be more than a noise show.

On July 2nd at the Fixin To, we’re creating/demonstrating/performing authenticity, sacredness, patience, and resilience. Come take up space with us ♡ “
