REMIX PROJECT
Remix Project's Open Mic & Studio Drop-ins take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from 6pm-9pm at Zhou B Art Center. With the additional funding, Remix will be able to expand Monday, Wednesday & Friday evenings' programming from 6pm-9pm throughout the month of August to assist in providing coverage during the gap. Safe space, mentorships and healthy networks are at the core of this effort. Youth and young adults will be invited to share their life experiences via music, spoken word and live performance. Premise being when young people have more options they make better decisions. Remix believes engaging at-risk youth through the summer months during peak times for violence creates a sense of belonging outside traditional neighborhood networks and helps guide young peoples' attention & decision making through the week with something positive forthcoming. In addition, participants will have access to a commercial grade recording studio and engineer on site for skills training, recording, mixing & mastering.
