Between parades, tree-lighting, and other interesting activities, this weekend is a cavalcade of excitement. If you’d like the chance to wind down a bit while still having fun, why not drop in for AAMP’s ARTFUSiON Festival?

We’ve got a great line-up of performers, some low-key shopping, and some art activities for the kids (and for you, if you want to give them a whirl. No pressure from us!)

The event is free but we’re always happy to receive donations if your budget allows.

Our vendors/display artists include: Charity’s Art Chummyjiggers (jewelry, wool socks, and more), Stan Nochasak (visual art), Claudia Maria (visual art), Queer Stick (visual art and ceramics), Jennifer Morgan (printing demo), authors Michelle Butler Hallett and Trudy Morgan-Cole, and more!

Performance Schedule:
2:00: Opening Remarks (Christine Hennebury – AAMP Chair, Wayne Butler – National Anthem)

2:45: Stan Nochasak and Sophie Angnatok – drummers and storytellers
