About
It’s been called “art in a trial size,” “bite-sized art” and, even, “a smorgasbord of art teasingly proffered like theatrical channel surfing.” However you choose to describe it, the concept of Sample Night Live is simple: Create a place where gifted artists can offer a preview of their work, and where audiences can sample a wide array of Twin Cities arts offerings with a single ticket to see what might interest them for their next big night out.
Mission:
Sample Night Live is dedicated to connecting high quality artists with new audiences.
