Beats for Peace merges arts and activism in an attempt to rally youth, especially those who may not feel connected to the social justice movement. The group is sponsoring a concert on Sunday, May 11, at 7 p.m., hosted by Toni Blackman and Jahi and featuring Medusa, Pharoah Monch, Cee-lo and Maseo.
If you are: a visual or graffiti artist who would like to display your work at the event; an activist or organizer whose organization would like a table; or a local youth organization eligible for free or discounted show tickets, get in touch. The show will be held at Nation, 1015 Half Street SE. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at door.
