SOMarts write at their website about the festival: “62 proposals were submitted, of those 13 were accepted by the curatorial team. The break down of offerings is as follows:

SOMARTS, JUNE 27th and 28th:
Mica Sigourney, Jason Torres Hancock, Xandra Ibarra, Harold Burns, Laura Arrington, and Anna Martine Whitehead

THE GARAGE, JUNE 29th and 30th:
Chase Joynt, Monique Jenkinson, Ben Mc Coy, Kevin Seaman, Dacia Holliday, Vagina Jenkins, and Tessa Wills

For the thirteen artists showing in this year’s program, acts of art-making and acts of sex collide. The result will be equal parts frank, ferocious, urgent, and of course tender.”
