Chachi Carvalho Will Host Collaborative Residency with Brown Arts Institute

This July, artist, educator, and activist Chachi Carvalho will host a collaborative residency with the Brown Arts Institute (BAI) continuing its IGNITE Series and contributing to his ongoing project Local Traffic. The residency will highlight Carvalho’s impactful work as an arts leader in Rhode Island, a multitude of talented local artists, and provide space for pro“fresh”ional development within the local music community. By bringing a local cohort of artists together to perform with and learn from celebrated global artists in the new Lindemann Performing Arts Center, Carvalho and BAI endeavor to establish connections between students, faculty, a global network of artists and producers, and the local community. The residency takes place from July 10–13, featuring community workshops and culminating with Global C.A.F.E., a concert experience “Celebrating Art From Everywhere” with performances from June Freedom, Chachi Carvalho and The International Players, and other musical collaborators. Brown Arts Institute is part of the Perelman Arts District.
