Just a few weeks ago, we asked you to participate in Ask SSJ, a chance to pose ANY question on art, life, and the upcoming play to Program Director, Sean San Jose. From the absurd to the enlightening, here are the results…

Why Intersection And What It Means to Me by Gretchen Brosius I started coming to Intersection for the Arts when I moved up here from southern California to go to college. It’s impossible to remember back to my first attendance to an Intersection for the Arts production. I’ve been going for so long. I do [...]

It is opening nights like this one, when the community is out in force – artists, family, neighbors, new faces, all together vibrant in one space that reminds us what Intersection is truly all about.  A loud THANK YOU to each of you who came out not just to support but to immerse and exchange [...]

In the digi-sonic world of auto-tune and mpc’s, you must admit – it IS nice to know there are practitioners of live instruments and original composition.

He enjoys warm nights, guitars, and memory-filled porches. His loves listening to 2pac and Bob Marley, and his favorite book is “The [...]

Junie’s full name is Junie Sanghyun Kane, but most people just know him as Junie. He’s the second oldest of the Kane brothers. When he’s not representing Tree City, he’s enjoying blunts and gyros at Fratelli’s on Dempster. He recently finished reading a book titled “Beneath the Underdog”.
