The Variety Pack with DeEtta Jain is back!

The arguably insignificant thrill of reaching in to a variety pack snack box and grabbing your favorite flavor is one of the various small joys still available to us. The Variety Pack II is a similar experience except, you may not be familiar with the flavor options at hand and you cannot grab the artists. With that being said, join us on February 8th for an array of performances and vendors that will undoubtedly remind you there is an art to noticing. When we stop to notice, we are met with more joy, more connection, and more warmth. Come find your flavor

DeEtta Jain

DeEtta Jain exists in territories where there are no straight lines. Having never fully settled into
any one concrete version of herself, or any one concrete understanding of the world, creating
from a place of continuous movement and change remains a driving force for her and her work.
Jain utilizes dance, performance art, poetry and other elements to give life to her music and
share certain messages in a spirited way. Reflections on society, vanity, mental health
struggles, inexplicable experiences, and palpable disappointments can all be held together by
a single thread when taking in Jain’s work. She curates and organizes local variety shows in the
name of connectivity. She is deeply honored to be in the company of such imaginative
vulnerability each time, and warmly invites you to come be a part.
