BURLINGTON - Last Friday was a movie.

We had a great turnout for our screening of The Negro Artist at The Capitol Theater. Very grateful to sponsors Susan and David Beckman for helping to make the amazing event happen.

We started the event with music and spoken word poetry from Caleb "The Negro Artist" Rainey.

After the film, we engaged the audience with a Q&A moderated by Kara Ewinger.

It was an unforgettable experience all around. Many more to come!

STANDING ROOM ONLY - It’s been a running theme for The Negro Artist Film Experience. We packed the floor and upper balcony seating at xBk Live for our screening of “The Negro Artist.”

The night was magical, to say the least. We started with poetry and music. We followed with the film and an audience Q&A.

I’m so grateful to xBk Live for supplying the music, tech and hospitality. Please check the place out if you haven’t. I also have to thank the performing poets Kelsey Bigelow - Poetry, Arsema and Sabur.

None of this would have been possible without Caleb "The Negro Artist" Rainey trusting me with his story. We’re building something special with this tour, and I’m grateful for his participation. We’re just getting started.

Big shout out to the films producer Douglas Burns as well. Looking forward to continuing this journey with you

So looking forward to this! Grab your tickets while they’re still available!
