ABOUT more like a hot pot less like a salad

more like a hot pot, less like a salad is a collage of sound and movement from the edges of the Ozarks. Rapid growth, transition, and commodification keep the richness of the arts in our region individualized to our particular practices and communities. We may share the road, but not always the stage. To speak our stories in our own languages, to listen and to share our deepest joys and passions, to be in concert with one another—this builds a resilient community.

Join us in modeling the kind of generosity, consent, and space we wish to practice in both our artistic and non-artistic lives in an evening of celebration with the people of our place.

Free, reservation required. Register online or with Guest Services at 479.657.2335.
