ARTESIA ARTS COUNCIL
City of Champions Comic Con on Saturday, May 21, 2022, is hosted in partnership with the Artesia Public Library.
Check www.artesiaartscouncil.com for more information.
Artrageous on Tuesday, May 24, 2022
Tickets: Adult $45 & K-12 $25
Never have so many live arts been presented on one stage.
Artists, using hands, brushes, and other objects, create visual art pieces making lines and shapes on giant canvas’ while the audience is intrigued to guess what each painting will become. Lines and brush strokes become portraits of famous icons in a matter of moments. All the while, live musicians are performing popular musical styles from pop to country to Artrageous original music with Artrageous’ powerful vocalists creating smooth harmonies.
The audience is immersed in the world of Artrageous and become participants in the show, not merely watchers. For the brave audience members, they are invited to join the troupe on stage for special numbers featuring their creativity. For the milder audience members, the Artrageous vocalists will instruct vocal parts as they sing along and use their souvenir finger lights to create a light show.
There is something for everyone, whether you are a performer at heart or just want to be thoroughly entertained.
Tickets can be purchased at www.artesiaartscouncil.com
