2014 Benefit by Elastic City

In true Elastic City form, we bring you our version of the "benefit." We'll play with sound and spirits to collectively transform Jack Geary Contemporary over the course of the night.

 

Please join us at our festival’s closing night party and help Elastic City continue to bring participatory walks, talks and ways to the public.
