2024 Articles, Arts & Entertainment, Lorie Lewis Ham, Rogue Festival

by Lorie Lewis Ham

The wonderful arts festival known as the Rogue Festival, which takes place in the Tower District of Fresno, is nearly upon us again! This year it will be running from March 1-9. While the general idea of the Festival remains the same each year, there are always subtle differences, so we took a moment to chat with the always witty Jaguar Bennett to find out what this year’s Rogue has in store for us! Hopefully, we will get him to tell us about his show this year as well!

by Amica Hunter

When I started making this show, I wasn't entirely sure what it was about, or why I was making it, only that I was intensely interested in the subject matter and excited to get an audience interested in it as well. Many aspects of this show are new for me as an artist, and that has been exhilarating … and terrifying. It's been a truly wild period of time. I've been experiencing the familiar ups and downs of building a show from scratch, combined with the new freedom and frustrations that come with being a solo creator.

The Looking Glass: Where Pinterest Meets Etsy

2016 Articles, Arts & Entertainment, Community

by Kristine Acopian

There are many things one can hold dear to our hearts. For some it's old photographs of loved ones, for some it is repurposing antiques passed down to them, and for others it's holding a space where all of this can come together, to become connected and wholesome in the community.
