Live Music
Ensemble Novo: Brazilian Music Exploration
Ensemble Novo celebrates the windswept melodies and perpetual-motion rhythms of Brazil. The five-piece band has been performing in the Philadelphia region for a decade, and has recorded a series of mini-albums that have been played on WXPN-FM and WRTI-FM as well as stations in Rio de Janeiro and across the globe. Its sound is a balance of moods and textures: The crystalline clarity of the vibraphone is crossed with the husky introspection of the tenor saxophone, lively sparks from nylon-string guitar are animated by the crisp pulse of percussion.
The School of Rock Deptford House Band
The School of Rock Deptford House Band is composed of students who are not only talented, but also passionate about the art of music. Through private lessons, playing in the performance program, and performing in local shows around the community, they’re constantly sharing their talents and expressing themselves through music.

Ashley Cheeseman
I am a mixed media artist based in southern New Jersey whose work explores the relationships between memory, nature, identity, and the unseen emotional connections that shape our lives. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at Pennsylvania College or Art and Design, and I work across a wide range of mediums, including cyanotype, painting, handmade paper, printmaking, photography, fiber, and sculpture.
Samantha Ellis
I am a multi-media artist and speculative fiction writer based in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
I draw inspiration from the cradle of nature, the depths of spirituality, and the cycles of euphoria and heartache in the human experience. I also pull from mythology, films, and other genres that catch my eye. When I’m not creating, I’m playing D&D, entertaining my cat Astra and my dog Indiana Jones, or going to every community event I possibly can.
Rochelle Bremmer
I am a versatile artist from Takoma Park Maryland. I am a junior at Rowan University, majoring in graphic design and psychology. I express myself through different mediums of art such as, printmaking, painting, fiber/textiles, poetry, and dance. I believe that art is a universal skill and tool that can be applied in any setting and has the power to inspire, heal, and connect people.
Jovon Dennis
Jōv is a multidisciplinary artist and world builder born in 1996 in a small town in West Virginia. Jōv’s work often gives space to the black sheep, the outsider, the strange, the misunderstood, and the stigmatized. He is drawn to familiar things made unfamiliar and to the uneasy space between what something appears to be and what it actually is. His practice spans painting, drawing, design, storytelling, symbolism, and world building.
Carole Henell
Art has always been an integral element of Carole’s life. She has had great success as a fiber artist, running a custom longarm quilting business for years pre-pandemic. In 2016, Carole renewed her passion for watercolor and has been painting ever since. Her inspiration comes from her garden, nature and extensive travels. She has found great joy in watching bumblebees and has captured them in various paintings.
