ARTIST INFO:

​

The Rice Paddy Show Presents - Lead Artist: Gerrie Lim (they/them)

• The Rice Paddy is an all-Asian comedy show that features talent from across the Asian ethnicities. The grain unites us all!

Oh No… I Hope I Don’t Fall - Lead Artist: Sara Ornelas (she/her)

• Sara is in a classic “will they won’t they” with her EP, and is going to perform her new music live for the first time to light the necessary fire under her juicy ass. She would tell you what her genre is, but it took her 28 years to memorize her Big 3 soo it’s a surprise for all of us. If it helps: Leo sun- mostly loud, Aries rising- but also angry?, Gemini moon- buuut mostly confused

Happy Birthday, Curiosity Rover! - Lead Artist: Laura Galindo (she/her)

• A play with music about a large machine and a mysterious alien and the way an encounter, any encounter, can help us ask what we didn't know to ask before.

Curated and co-produced by Make/Shift and This Is Akin, Cosmic Cherry Arts Festival is an annual, all-inclusive celebration of femininity, empowerment and gender nonconformity featuring the work of dozens of femme and genderqueer artists. These works include writing (film, theater, narrative, poetry), performance art, visual art, video, movement, music, and comedy.

Formerly known as SHE Creates, we have recently rebranded in order to provide a more gender inclusive platform for our artists and makers. Cosmic Cherry derives from the festival's blend of the magical creative energy our artists bring with a powerful punch of bad*ssery. This festival is meant to make our artists and audiences feel sexy, empowered, and full of that cosmic creative goodness.

​

This festival started in 2018 as a one-night all-inclusive celebration of femme and genderqueer artists. And it has evolved year after year to showcase the amazing work of dozens of artists. For more info on our past festivals, click here.

​

This year, we are super excited to invite you for a week-long festival that will be featuring several performing acts, a visual arts gallery, concessions bar and a vendor market.

​

We hope you’ll join us for drink, food, art, and celebration!
