Soul Sista Music Series - Bernadette Bascom

Every Sunday this July - join us at WOW Gallery for the Soul Sista Music Series from 5-7pm. Every week we’ll hear performances centered by black women musicians surrounded by the Iconic Black Women Collection by Hiawatha D.

The closing performance for this series is on Sunday, July 31st with a performance from Bernadette Bascom!

This Soul Sista Music Series is dedicated to showcasing Black Love in its true essence. The artist showcasing each Sunday exemplifies multiple aspects of Love that our culture continually perpetuates through all seasons of life. The many stories that you will hear were influences from ancestors, past experiences, healing, and spirituality. Combining the energy and love from each artist and the healing space from the co-creation of Veronica Very and Hiawatha D. will have everyone in attendance leaving better than how they came in.

Each ticket will include two drink tickets (champagne or wine available), appetizers and a live performance in our Legacy Gallery.
