DESCRIPTION: Muse and some friends conceived a sit-in/sing-in style event to commemorate Juneteenth called “Artists 4 Black Lives.” “We can have people come through and sit and sing, and the artists, the black artists come out and sing about their pain and their joy and their experiences with police brutality and systemic racism,” Muse said. And, she added, it “took off from there.” Muse eventually built a team of volunteers to help her plan. They envisioned a small group of performers and musicians putting together a variety show, sharing works that would express how they felt about this historical moment. Word got out, and the event has grown to a platform for more than twenty performers. They’ll set up an outdoor space in Balboa Park near the Pepper Grove playground and Centro Cultural De La Raza on Park Blvd., with an art walk across the Laurel Street bridge.
