Tiera L Nolcox: www.instagram.com/tieralynne
As a Newburgh native and Hudson Valley resident Tiera has always used poetry and short stories as an emotional outlet. She’s ready to share her words with her community in an effort to both inspire and connect with those who may seek comfort and empowerment within art.

Loisa Fenichell: http://www.loisafenichell.com/
Loisa Fenichell will be reading poems that explore what it means to be a woman in today's world; to be somebody who occupies a body; to be somebody with memory, sometimes painful memory.
She is from New York, was actually born in a NYC taxi cab, and is most interested in the craft of poetry, how various art forms invariably intersect, and artistic collaborations.

Uptown Swing Kingston's Uptown Lowdown: https://www.uptownswingkingston.com/uptown-lowdown
The Uptown Lowdown celebrates the tradition of chorus girl dancers, while placing it within a modern-day context. We believe in vintage style, not vintage values. We intentionally perform to music by women- and minority-led bands. Our choreographies range from sassy showgirl numbers, to feminist protest pieces, to joyful holiday routines. We design and make most of our costume elements and have also collaborated with Karina Dresses (woman-owned, Kingston-based business making dresses in the USA!) Chorus girls work together as a unit, and the Uptown Lowdown believes that by working together, our collective is greater than the sum of its parts.
