MAPP: Mission Art Performance Project
December 6, 2014 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Free
For the Dec 6th MAPP, the Red Poppy Art House presents a moving international space of convergence, for a series of multidisciplinary performances featuring five artists from the Poppy’s new Resident Artist Cohort, along with special guests Alejandro y Maria Laura, on tour from Peru (and who recently headlined at the 33rd Encuentro del Canto Popular). We open the evening with AfroCuban Rumba with Sergio Duran y Los Patakines.
On this evening, we convene and converge in a space of artistic encounters at a time when our city and neighborhood is getting diverged and divided among real estate interests. Here the MAPP becomes a forum for the embodiment of new possibilities, social relations, and self-discovery.

We are pleased to announce that we have begun some minor construction at the Poppy to make our space fully wheelchair accessible. Due to this work, we will be having audiences enter through the main front doors rather than the side door entrance that we normally use. We will have a slightly lesser seating capacity, so keep that in mind to make sure you arrive in time.
