URBAN ARTS TENT

At the inaugural Summer Set Music Festival, RAW & Face Forward will showcase the rich arts scene of the Twin Cities in the Urban Arts Tent.  Free your mind and feel inspired by stopping in our tent and connecting with some of the most talented performing and visual artists of the Twin Cities. Feel the energy and power of multidisciplinary arts—drum circles, live graffiti, dance lessons, yoga, break dancing battles, fire spinning, face/body paintings, DJ sets and walk-through art galleries. Even a brief stop at our tent will leave you feeling re-energized and inspired.
