WHAT: Our 2nd annual warm weather-themed winter party, DESERT BLOOM BASH! This virtual event will be a free, fun-filled, musical (and warm!) get-together over Zoom. Together, we’ll enjoy some live music, creative conversation, improv games (where audience members are invited to type words and prompts into the chat box, and we make up music on the spot!), and special goodies from our Desert Bloom Packages, made up of hand-crafted goodies & fun surprises that will arrive in small recycled and compostable packaging - sign up on the RSVP form)

WHEN: Sunday, March 5 from 3-4 pm EST

WHO: We are absolutely thrilled to announce that this year’s special party guest will be our dear friend, collaborator, ACF alum (‘21), and TWO-time-GRAMMY-award-winning cellist Andrew Yee. Andrew is a member of the renowned Attacca Quartet, co-founder of ChamberQUEER, an amazing visual artist, a culinary inspiration in the kitchen, an all-around beautiful soul… the list goes on and on.

WHERE: This event will take place over Zoom, and audience members can choose whether to engage actively or passively - we know that Zoom fatigue is real! Seating will be limited to keep the experience fun and easy to engage with.

HOW: RSVP here to guarantee your spot (For a guaranteed Party Package, be sure to RSVP by 2/15)

We hope you’ll join us as we step away for an hour from our snow-covered wintry landscape (at least here in Western Massachusetts!) to find inspiration in vibrant desert landscapes, and to bask in the warmth of good music and good company.
