The annual Oasis Festival is a free event sponsored by Convergence Project, AMP Concerts, and Violet Crown. The event is hosted at the Railyard Plaza and features the Overcoats and performances from local teen musicians, bands, and singers. As well as the music, there will be additional performances by local dancers. There will also be a chalk art competition co-sponsored by Violet Crown with multiple prizes that include cash and Convergence Project merchandise. In addition, there will be food vendors on site.
The Convergence Project is a non-profit, place-based, youth-led collaboration that unifies teens through art and music to create public opportunities for them to pursue their passions.
Santa Fe lacks venues and events that foster intellectual connection and artistic creativity among youth. The Convergence Project helps fill this void by creating positive change in the local community through authentic projects and events that are designed, produced and promoted by youth, especially in the arts, music, journalism, and entrepreneurship, from an alliance of schools and organizations around the city. Through Convergence, students also learn to meet and overcome challenges by developing valuable real world career skills with adult mentors that build resiliency, help them adapt to change, and foster opportunities for other youth.
As an incubator for artistic expression and entrepreneurship, Convergence has given a rewarding platform and audience to teen artists and inspired teens to create for the past six years. Convergence provides teens from all different backgrounds an opportunity to have fun and collaborate together.
