“Deep’s Summer
Showcase is a time to celebrate
bravery as artists, explorers,
and agents of change” said
executive director, Dr. Holly
Whitfield. “This is a coming
together, not only to hand the
youth and adults of our com
munity the microphone—but
to build them the whole stage.
When we think about creating
transformational change, we
know very well that the mem
bers of our community already
have the answers our leaders
seek. Our work, then, becomes
about lifting up their voices,
and sharing that joy with our
larger community.”
The Summer Show
case will celebrate the release
of Block by Block’s 2022-2023
anthology, the Young Author
Project spring class, debut this
year’s SLAM team and serve
as an opportunity for our Deep
village to celebrate and be in
community with one another
with food, performance, writ
ing, and art.
“Each week our
young people courageous
ly open themselves up to the
transformative power of art
as a mirror as all that they are
and all that they could be” said
Director of Youth Programs,
Crystal Moon. “They write,
sculpt, paint, reflect, share,
and grow, modeling to us what
it looks like to be vulnerable
and inspiring everyone around
them to fully engage with the
process of self-discovery. We
are so thankful to all of our
community partners for help
ing us to create spaces for our
young people to express them
selves, and we look forward
to fellowshipping with the
village, as we uplift our youth
and affirm to them that they
are heard, seen, supported, and
loved. ”
The Deep Summer
Showcase will take place on
Sunday, June 11, 2pm-5pm, at
the Ships of the Sea Maritime
Museum (41 Martin Luther
King Jr Blvd). The event is
completely free, but registra
tion is required for attendance.
