From poetry to hip-hop, film to photography — we elevate and amplify the artists making Modesto's culture impossible to ignore.
Modesto Artists Movement is a community-led nonprofit elevating the artists making this city interesting. Across ten disciplines, every weekend, year-round.
We host events, fund grants, run masterclasses, and build the stages local artists deserve. And we're just getting started.
We connect artists across disciplines and generations, building the cultural network this city has always deserved.
Working artists on real stages. Modesto's poets, painters, comics and musicians, on full blast.
Grants, mentorship, masterclasses, showcases. Every resource we can hand artists to make bigger, bolder work.
A neighborhood porch party with Neon Radio. Bubbles, disco ball, all invited.
A revue of local bands, painters, and performers sharing one stage. Big, loud, free to enter.
Modesto's poetry slam invitational. Eight finalists. One champion. $1,500 in prizes.
36 more events this season. From open mics in coffee shops to sold-out nights at the State Theatre.
Once a year, eight of Modesto's best poets take the stage at the historic State Theatre to compete for the title of ILL List Champion. A crowd of 1,000+ shows up to score every round.
It's the loudest poetry night in the Central Valley, and we're proud to host it.
