As some of you may have seen, it was an all day event which included a pre-art show Pop-Up. Artists of many different mediums came to share and sell their amazing work. During this pop-up, we decided to film this episode of IFY! Edie spoke to FIFTEEN lovely individuals and compiled these discussions together for your viewing pleasure. These convos are beautiful, heartfelt and hilarious. Thank you for watching, here is EPISODE 9! Stay tuned to check out our most recent event F.E.A.R. footage to see how the night went! You'll see the stunning visual art (including paintings + digital visuals), powerful spoken word performances, and MORE!Support the show
