Join Carman Tyra in this lively episode of the Plan & Story podcast as she takes you on a vibrant journey through a weekend filled with art, community, and dance. Despite the overwhelming weight of the world, we are reminded of the power of finding joy in the everyday.

Highlights include:

• Color Me Rad: Discover the impact of Local Color’s youth program, where students create art and gain the confidence to exhibit and sell their work. Carman shares inspiring stories of empowerment and the importance of valuing young artists' voices.
• Digital Underground Event: A nod to an amazing event Carman couldn’t attend but wishes she had.
• Clove Art Complex Opening: Explore the new art space that’s celebrating Zoot Suit culture. Carman reflects on the significance of community spaces and the thrill of seeing her friends' artwork proudly displayed.
• Other Brother Brewing Co. Event: Immerse yourself in a night of disco, funk, and fresh beats curated by "Encounters of the Funky Kind." Carman talks about the joy of traveling, trying new things, and dancing the night away.
• New Museum Los Gatos Opening: Carman praises the energetic atmosphere of art show openings and encourages emerging artists to get involved with Gen Arts for skill-building and new opportunities.
