Joaquín: Animator by Day, Dreamer by Night - The Kennedy Center: Arts Across America

It was an honor and incredible creative challenge to art direct and edit 7 videos for Atiim Chenzira with a relatively quick turn around time for his Kennedy Center: Arts Across America video submission.

Indigo Arts Alliance, in partnership with Portland Ovations, is honored to have produced an original performance event featuring three based Maine artists to be featured in the Kennedy Center’s national series, Arts Across America. This program series is a part of the Washington, D.C. based John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Social Impact Initiatives.
