Wed. Feb 19 | 8pm | Free

THE Artist Expedition is a pop up event intended to provide a safe space for artists of various mediums (including but not limited to dance, music, photography, videography and writing) to EXPLORE their creativity.

This event happens in two sessions; one beginning at 8:30 pm and another at 9:30 pm. You are able to attend one or both. It is completely up to you. It comes complete with:

  • a space to move through

  • mindfully crafted musical ambiance

  • a selection of writing prompts

  • a few tools for artistic expressions (paper, pencils, markers, etc)

  • The only tool I don’t have is YOU!

If you're a musician, bring your instrument.

If you're a writer, bring your notebook.

If you're an artist, bring your sketch pad.

If you're a photographer, bring your camera.

If you're a dancer, bring your rhythm.

...if you're a pure creative, just bring yourself.

About the Host

Hello fellow creatives!

My name is McKinley Danielle Willis, also known as Kinley Dani. I am a native of Dallas, Texas and I am a die hard creative. I have a huge affinity for artistic collaborations and love what comes of artists feeding off of each other. Though I love all art forms, my first love is dance!

I began dancing at the age of 4 and now dance professionally with Dallas Black Dance Theatre, where I have the honor of bringing to life the ideas of many brilliant artists. The work I do there is a dream, but still there is a gaping hole for something more, something different. I needed the mental and physical space to create!

I thought to myself, “I can’t be the only artist that feels this way. There has to be more artist out there, that are serious about their craft that need a creative release”. Hence, the creation of THE Artist Expedition.

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to coexist with you and the capability to explore. Thank you, so much in advanced for you presence! I look forward to our exchange.

~Kinley
