Meet your Art Club Vol. 14 featured portrait photographer,

Tori Silva is a full time concert photographer and videographer from Bradenton, FL. Tori is often seen at Oscura as she is their head in-house photographer, however, when she’s not at Oscura, she is probably either in Orlando or touring the country with a band. She has a love of storytelling whether that is taking crowd shots or interviewing musicans. When shes not shooting, you’ll probably see her moshing in the pit. Tori cofounded Art Club and its another one of her biggest passions. Anytime she can be involved in a community, whether thats at a show or at Art Club, is when shes her happiest.

Come get your photo taken by Tori for free THIS WEDNESDAY, May 27th, at from 6-9pm!

Introducing Art Club vol. 14 featured artist,
Jade Garden is a local songwriter and musician based out of Sarasota Florida who currently leads the local Emo band Ending Apathy ( .apathy ). Their passion for art of all mediums started in childhood picking up various instruments of all kinds as well as diving into other outlets such as painting and poetry. Jade strives to use storytelling in art to communicate the bold honesty of emotions, removing the notions of holding back true feelings for the sake of comfortability. As someone who struggles with mental health they have used song writing as an outlet to say exactly how they feel and be authentically themselves. When Jade isn’t writing music or preforming you can usually find them curled up with a romantasy book or spending time on the farm with their horse.

Come meet Jade and our other featured artists (TBA) in less than TWO WEEKS on May 27th from 6-9pm at !
