ARTIST INFO:

​

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.

Guilty Party - Lead Artists: Sophia Metcalf, Sage Newman, and A Granite Garden

• Guilty Party is a living newspaper about gender, sex, the pandemic, and the self-discoveries we make through heartbreak.

Martina San Diego

• Singer-songwriter performing a collection of released and unreleased original songs.

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!
