Join PearlArts as we celebrate over five years of work with the Grand Opening of our new home, and the World Premiere of sum of y’all, a movement-based multimedia work.

sum of y’all is a joyful, evolving, and immersive experience that reflects on the impermanence of community and the erasure of historically Black spaces. Brought to life with lush visuals, an exuberant yet haunting score, and dancers embodying the ever-changing patterns of cities and cellular structures, this work invites audiences to feel energized, full, and more hopeful than when they arrived.

Audience members will also have the chance to experience PearlArts’ new home, a 5,000 sq. ft. haven that boasts two dance studios, two recording studios and endless opportunities for artistic exploration.

This 2-night celebration will include a ribbon cutting and champagne reception on March 28th to officially open the space, and an artist talk to share the multi-year creation process of sum of y’all on March 29th.

Come celebrate this new chapter of PearlArts with us!
