DJ and The Black Canvas Creative Director Tommi Lee: @tommi_lee
For the season opener, DJ and Creative Director Tommi Lee painted the air with sound. He curated a seamless blend of house, neo-soul, hip-hop, remixes, mash-ups and electronic beats that set the tone for the entire evening. The bass hit different, the melodies felt like brushstrokes on canvas, and every track was handpicked to elevate the art around you not as background music but as the heartbeat of the event.

At ART&BEATS, artists don’t just showcase their art—Visual Artists have the opportunity to sell their pieces, and Musical Artists have the opportunity to perform and showcase their skills. Every artist shines, and with the music flowing, the entire venue transforms into a living, breathing masterpiece.
