Freshtight Designs | Emerge and See 2010

Emerge and See is an all medium, “community-oriented” festival that has over 50 participating artists and musicians all housed under one roof. It’s a free-form event where many of the artists themselves have created part of the event; such as artist Lisa Norton who created an event poster; Martin Thoburn who created the promo video, most well-known for his video work for the Ann Arbor Film Fest; Kobie Solomon and other graffiti artists who will create works live; Vertical Ambition who will perform a live dance routine; and there’s even on-site screen printing by Progress of Design. The event will also feature work from Jaclyn Schanes, who just made national news with her genre busting exhibit/performance, Show Pony.

Emerge and See’s musical bill is as eclectic and genre-defying as the visual art, with such local acts as The Satin Peaches, Cold Men Young, stadium-rock powerhouses Neon Escape, and the buzz-worthy art rock of Lord Scrummage.

Attendees will be encouraged to participate in the kinetic creativity (milk jug/ plastic bottle installation to be created during the event by event attendees) underscoring the environmentally conscious and DIT (Do It Together) community ethos “we all can make a difference.” With the recyclable plastic bottle installation attendees will be creating, Emerge and See will illustrate how much waste is really created by each one of us, hence the real “emergency” at hand, and how together we can make an appreciable difference to the community and to the ecology, expressing the most important issues that affect our planet.

Emerge and See strives to blend genres and blur categories and attempt to cover many mediums of expression – instruments, paints, dancing, graphic design, print design, crafting, handmade items, glass, jewelry, clothing, video, in a communal aural and visual celebration of one of the world’s most creative places – Detroit, Michigan!
