A Note from the Artistic Director

Greetings!
Welcome to Summer! We’re so happy to be bringing you our Summer Solos
from the beautiful grounds of the Visual Arts Center of NJ. And also, to be on
the road with The Flip Side at Daddy Matty’s BBQ!
Our Summer Solos give artists and audiences the unique experience of a
direct conversation from a single point of view on a variety of topics. We’re
thrilled to represent the work of Jerico Bleu, Steve Harper, Douglas McGrath
and Ian August in this specifically summer setting.
Also, we’re always happy to throw a party, and Daddy Matty’s is a great new
partner in providing The Flip Side with an opportunity to play with you while
enjoying some yummy eats. We hope our programs are a fun part of your
summer schedule, and we thank you for joining us.
All the best,
