EVENING HIGHLIGHTS
Having moved crowds for over a decade with her blend of funk, soul, house, Latin, rock and afrobeat, DJ Reborn will have you on your feet for our after-party. In addition, the Quick Center will present her as part of our season on November 15 with her new project Four Women.
Through an exciting collaboration between the Quick Center and the Walsh Art Gallery, DANCE is a celebration of the human form and its connection with spirituality and storytelling. DANCE will feature a myriad of world-renowned dance companies and speakers. The exhibition will highlight acclaimed visual artists featuring sculptures by Marc Mellon, paintings by Jane Sutherland and photographs by Philip Trager.
Proceeds from the 2015 Celebration benefits the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts Education and Outreach Fund, enabling youth and families to engage and share in Quick Center performances, classes and workshops. Charitable giving accounts for 75% of our annual budget and makes programming at the Quick Center possible. Thank you. Your contribution matters.
