R2Arts attends RezStar
On Thursday, February 6th R2Arts Executive Director, Patrick attended the first ever Rez Star show! Rez Star is an Indigenous Performing Arts Competition for Minnesota American Indian Residents.
Held at Shooting star Casino in Mahnomen, the stage was lit up with talents from all across the region. Attendees were encouraged to vote for their favorite performer via phone. Performers traveled from Mille Lacs and Turtle Mountain, Red Lake, White Earth, and Leech Lake to perform in this event. With dazzling lights, wonderful voices, and amazing people this sure was an event to attend.
Out of the 8 performing artists in this First show, 7 of them have made it forward to the next round of Rez Star. We wanted to say thank you to everyone who attended this event, we hope you had an amazing evening watching these talented people perform. We look forward to seeing the next Rez Star show.
