SUMMARY:Monthly Artists Share!
DESCRIPTION:Get feedback on your work and meet local creatives at this Monthly Artists Share! group\, facilitated by Midori Creativity.\n\n\n\nArtists Share! is a place to share your creative work\, get support and feedback\, and be part of a wonderful discussion. Hosted by Midori Creativity\, we’re all about cross-pollination welcoming painters\, jewelry makers\, fiber artists\, photographers\, musicians\, scultptors and more. Our exhibit\, Creative Catalysts\, celebrates the interplay and creative exploration that happens when artists of different genres work together. \nAnyone is welcome and we take turns sharing. Sometimes we are looking at a body of work and other times we are talking about creative identity. The group meets every month\, aiming to help each other progress and grow in our work by sharing and exploring together. It’s a chance to learn from people whose work may be different from your own but who have insights you could never imagine. We laugh\, share ideas\, and have fun! \nParticipants can also attend via Zoom. Learn more about the program at midoricreativity.com/artistsshare \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the New Bedford Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Jackie Venson
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 11\, 2026\n$32 Advance | $34 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nHeralded as one of “Austin’s rising stars” by Rolling Stone and “an Austin legend in the making” by Forbes\, Jackie Venson has established herself as one of the most commanding performers to come out of Texas. An Austin native\, Venson has shared the stage with icons like Gary Clark Jr and Melissa Etheridge and even performed with Alanis Morissette and Lainey Wilson at the 2023 CMT Awards and in 2024 Venson was selected to perform as part of Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase at SXSW.\nVenson’s breakthrough album Joy received critical acclaim upon its release in 2019\, and while the pandemic stood in the way of touring plans for the next year\, Venson nonetheless found new levels of fame with her livestreaming presence throughout 2020\, which led to her landing the #9 position on Pollstar’s Top 50 Livestreamers list for the year and a booking on the legendary Austin City Limits. \nIn 2021 Venson collaborated with renowned producer Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam\, U2) on Love Transcends\, a love letter to Texas blues rock in all its forms. Venson followed that up with Evolution of Joy\, a reimagining of Joy that was created with help of producer Frenchie Smith (Toadies\, Jet)\, and the duo teamed up again for 2023’s Ghost in the Machine\, an electro funk\, jazz-infused guitar pop album that updates 2020’s Vintage Machine. Venson’s next album\, The Love Anthology\, came out in January 2025 to coincide with her third annual January residency at the iconic Austin venue Antone’s.
