Hidden River Arts 20th Anniversary and First-Ever Fundraiser
Hidden River Arts is celebrating its 20th anniversary! We are celebrating at L'Etage, the most popular nightclub in Philadelphia, on June 7, with a literary reading, a bit of theatre and truly wonderful cabaret performance.
A bit about Hidden River: We are an interdisciplinary arts organization devoted to serving the unserved artist, the "outsider artist" among us. What began with one yearly fiction competition, grew to include an annual full-length playwrighting competition, residency programs, educational outreach, live arts events, gallery events, performances, a first-book competition for women over the age of 40, even production activities. We've run a robust internship program, and have watched many of our wonderful interns go on to jobs in publishing, theatre, performance. We now have an independent small press, with several imprints, so that we can offer the possibility of publication to deserving writers struggling for recognition and support. There are other goals and hopes for even more growth as Hidden River moves into its next phase.
This year, as we celebrate this happy anniversary, we're reaching out and doing fundraising for the first time ever. With just a bit of help, we can grow our programs bigger and faster, we could bring our workshops, classes and performances to more people, reduce our already-low fees even more. We could travel our programs, build a greater platform for online workshops and classes. The growth that took twenty years could continue and expand. A yearly Words and Music festival is one of our dreams. A re-established and expanded residency program. More theatrical and film production. More publishing. And always, the core of our mission remains supporting the unserved artists among us, whose talent and vision make the world a much better place. They are the primordial wellspring from which all of this flows.
So, please join us for our 20th Anniversary celebration and first-ever fundraiser on Sunday, June 7 at 7 p.m. or 9 p.m. It's going to be a wonderful event. We are gathering at L'Etage, the nightclub above Le Beau Monde, at 624 S. 6th Street, Philadelphia. The evening will include a cabaret performance with (in alphabetical order) Jean Brooks, Leon Carelli, Debra Leigh Scott and Denise Shubin, with our wonderful accompanist, Carla Mariani. We'll also be doing some readings of our award-winners' work, and perhaps even a bit of reading from some of our many beloved interns! But most of all, it will be a time to gather together with people who love art, music, language and creativity to meet, mingle and celebrate.
