The Capital Hip Hop Soul Fest All-Star Show May 24th

The Capital Hip Hop Soul Fest was conceived in 2008 by community activist Maceo Thomas & co-produced with Liberated Muse to provide a platform for DC area artists to showcase their talents while bringing attention to the Ward 7 community the festival was held. Joining artists, small business owners and music lovers alike, the festival enjoyed three years of substantial success as a landmark tradition in the Deanwood community's revitalized Marvin Gaye Park. Past acts have included Gods'illa, Teisha Marie, Mello D & the Rados, Mycah Chevalier, Christylez, Kokayi, The Bangladesh Project, Enoch 7th Prophet, The 5th L, Marcel and the Truth, Tamika Love Jones, Chaquis Maliq, Kenny Wesley and more!

Join us on Thursday, May 24th as festival director Maceo Thomas presents an evening show featuring some of the top acts to grace the stages of the Capital Hip Hop Soul Fest in past years, including:

About Liberated Muse Arts Group

Liberated Muse Arts Group is a collective of performers, writers, singers, actors and visual artists who gather to transform spaces into art places.

In 2008, the digital community LiberatedMuse.com was born, connecting creatives from around the globe to discuss, collaborate and fellowship. Hundreds have connected through the online portal, beginning meaningful relationships leading to further creative collaborations and ongoing partnerships. You can join the community for free if you are a creative literary, performing, or visual artist.

Liberated Muse Productions (2008-2010) produced the annual Capital Hip Hop Soul Fest held in Washington DC’s Marvin Gaye Park for three years and after the dissolution of Liberated Muse Productions, Liberated Muse Arts Group became the new name of the umbrella of services in 2011, producing events and theatrical productions throughout the Washington DC metro area.

The aim of Liberated Muse Arts Group is to continuously challenge the notion of an “arts space” by programming in spaces that are not traditionally considered popular art spaces while continuing to use traditional spaces as a balance. We wholeheartedly support artist-owned and community-based venues that connects arts programming to populations that typically don’t have access to professional, high-quality artistry. Past locations for programming have included:

Marvin Gaye Park (Washington DC)

The Potter’s House (Washington DC)

The Bonifant Theater (Silver Spring, MD)

Martin Luther King Public Library (Washington DC)

Oxon Hill Public Library (Oxon Hill, MD)

Little Black Pearl (Chicago, IL)

The Artomatic (Washington, DC)
