Liberated Muse: Transforming Places Into Art Spaces: Capital Rhythm & Soul this Friday

Capital Rhythm & Soul this Friday

We are continuing our efforts to take part in the wonderful programming that takes place in the DC metro area throughout the year as a supplement to our annual festival, the Capital Hip Hop Soul Fest. What better way to do that than through an intimate concert venue and in a way that benefits an area nonprofit?

This Friday, join us for Capital Rhythm & Soul at the Potter's House in Adams Morgan in DC. Featured performers include acoustic soul singer C. Love, hip-hop soul singer Anonamas, R & B diva Mahoganee and Liberated Muse's co-founder Khadijah "Moon" Ali-Coleman, accompanied by Gary Young on guitar. The fantastic Dehejia Maat will host. Check her out below.

The event is $10 and will benefit Southeast Ministry, a local nonprofit in southeast DC that helps adults earn their GED and provides programming to young people throughout the year in the literary arts.

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 Liberated Muse brand has produced and co-sponsored dozens of events since 2008, including:

I’m Every Woman: A SWAN Day Event (2012)

In Her Words (2012)

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)

ArtSpring (Silver Spring, MD)

Capitol North Neighborhood Library (Washington, DC)

The United States Peace Corps headquarters (Washington, DC)

The Corner Store (Washington, DC)

Annie’s Art Gallery (Camp Springs, MD)

Germano’s (Baltimore, MD)
