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

• Dear Craigslist, it's Gus. i need help finishing my to-do list... u up?? an interactive play by Malena Pennycook.

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!
