Marion Art Center

01/06/2025

Thanks to a grant from the National Performance Network, we’re going back to the Coleman Center for the Arts in York, Alabama for a residency with musician Chris Thompson in 2025!

York is a small city of 2400, where the population is 90% Black and 40% live under the poverty line. Performing in York as part of the Gather Hear Alabama tour (exactly a year ago) was transformative for both Gather Hear and CCA.

We’ll be featuring York in our upcoming posts with previously-unseen footage. If you want a head start, you can watch our newest vlog episode featuring our 2023 residency. Link in bio.

More info on the collaboration with Chris in the new year 😌

Thank you, NPN!!!
