Quennect 4 Gallery Presents “Festival of the Mousai: The Goddesses of Music, Song, Dance, and Knowledge”

-Sponsored Post-

 Quennect 4 Gallery presents “Festival of the Mousai” a fundraising event for Rumble Arts Center featuring all women artists, activists, musicians, and performers for a night of art, culture, and philanthropy.

Quennect 4 Gallery is an independently-run alternative multi use art space that supports the intersection of social, political, economical and geographic communities. It focuses on diversity and giving back to the community and its very existence is a testament to the necessity of a multilateral vision in the process of cultural (r)evolution.

By the same token, Rumble Arts Center is a women run, all-ages, donation based community arts organization whose vision is to make the arts a thriving presence in the daily lives of the residents of Chicago’s Humboldt park neighborhood. With that said, they offer over 25 weekly classes in art, music, dance, yoga, martial arts, writing and performance.

Together, Quennect 4 and Rumble Arts have joined forces to raise funds for the center first and foremost to help Rumble maintain its commitment to offering donation based arts programs to the community, and secondly, to add to the building budget for the construction of both a community silk-screen and ceramic studio on the un-rehabbed third floor of the center. To date, an exposure table and two $25,000 kilns have been donated for the project and we are working towards a goal of completing construction by October.

Join us as we celebrate the work of our local artists and fundraise for a good cause.
