Creative Exchange Member Night @ Bread + Roses
SPECIAL GUEST MWALIM
Now in its fifth year, the Creative Exchange is an initiative developed by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod (AFCC) to empower, connect, and celebrate local artists and creative professionals through professional development and networking opportunities.
It serves art educators; individual artists of all mediums, levels, and backgrounds; creative workers who support our cultural centers; fine and performing arts groups and businesses; and cultural and historical establishments.
Since its inception, the AFCC has committed itself to grow the Creative Exchange so it becomes an extensive, collaborative network of Cape creatives.

He will discuss Song Keepers’ commitment to preserve, continue, and promote the music and artists of this community, and share recordings of artists who have benefitted from its work.
