READY OR NOT

Come add your art to our project!

The global collective music and art project by Elise Witt & Jessica Lily has a new participatory incarnation at 7Stages Theater in Atlanta! There will be a suitcase with art supplies to illustrate those things most precious to you, and another suitcase to gather everyone's contributions. Join us (in person or virtually) to take part!

Sponsored by Carpe Diem Arts! for the Daily Antidote of Song, the film, “Ready or Not” is a collaborative project featuring a virtual chorus and artworks - paintings, sculptures, quilts, photos, collages, drawings, prints - from artists aged 3-83 from around the globe. “Ready or Not” imagines our human journeys, through the image of packing a magic suitcase. Both whimsical, like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag, and contemplative, reflecting on the journeys taken as forced departure, migration, the refugee’s journey... packing quickly the things most precious, objects as well as memories. What is most precious to you and the health of our communities, the health of our planet?

You Know @ Local Color

"You Know" is one of the few love songs I've written. It was thrilling to sing it with the Something Else Trio at Local Color in Springville Alabama. Those family harmonies can't be beat! And of course Mick Kinney on the piano...
