“It’s basically is a hybrid of The Tonight Show & Austin City Limits,” said Mike Marriott, The Arts Promoter & owner of Opportunity Arts. Late night talk shows have given national celebrities & artists a platform for their fans to become more familiar with who they are as a person. This will do the same thing but on a local scale. The show will feature some of the most talented & driven performing & visual artists our Capital City Community has to offer. There will also be performances & visual art presentations as part of the show. The first show on September 13th will feature Internationally Acclaimed Opera Singer and new resident of Lansing, Stephano Andreotti. “We wanted to kick things off with Stephano as a shout out to Willy Nelson & Austin City Limits,” said Marriott. Willy left Nashville and moved to a state capital (Austin, TX) because he wanted more creative freedom to make the music he wanted. That moved transformed Austin into “The Live Music Capital of the World”. Stephano Andreotti, who has won international awards, and toured Europe, left New York City and moved to our state capital of Lansing, MI for the same reason. This series will be another strong example of why Lansing is becoming “The Creatives Capital”. The remainder of the season is loaded with talent and artists of multiple mediums including chalk artists, painters, poets, illustrators, authors, musicians, and mixed media artists. The show schedule for the first half of Season 1 is as follows: Premiere Sept. 13th – Internationally Acclaimed Opera Singer Stephano Andreotti Purchase Tickets Here Sept. 20th - Visual Artist, Educator, and Ghostbuster Ryan Holmes Sept. 27th - Visual Artist and Ralf Henrickson Award Winner Autumn Hopkins Oct. 4th - Poet & Lyricist Morgan Madden - 517 Living Week Oct. 11th - Visual Artist & Gallery Coordinator for the Lansing Art Gallery Sarah Parker Oct. 18th - Visual Artist Kylee Kellett Oct. 25th - Author & Educator Kristine Brickey Nov. 1st - Priestess Dikastiria of Daimonikos Productions Nov. 8th - Producer & Hip Hop Artist Torrey Gray Nov. 15th - Poet Grace Carras Nov. 22nd - Visual Artist Melina Brann Nov. 29th - Jeweler & Visual Artist Danielle Smith Dec. 6th - Poet Keyante Saxon aka KT the Conscious Poet 2 Part Mid-Season Finale Dec. 13th - The Artist known as SHE presents the dark side of the Holidays Dec. 20th - Body Painter Sarah Sanders presents the light side of the Holidays For more information on Monday Night Masterpiece, and to purchase tickets visit: www.opportunityarts.org/monday-night-masterpiece.html  Keyante Saxon, aka KT the Conscious Poet is a poet/lyricist from Lansing, MI that uses linguistic creativity, to bring thought provoking content in an effort to understand consciousness and share perspective on shared reality.

From a young age, I was encouraged to be myself, and to make all of the art I could possibly make, so that’s exactly what I did. Drawing, painting, collage, sculpture; the variety of media available to create things is what had me continuously coming back for more. My love for art led me to pursue it further, and in 2015 I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Michigan State University, along with a Bachelor of Arts in the Arts & Humanities. A few years later I started classes at Lansing Community College, and in 2019 I completed a certificate in Graphic Design. Art will always have a place in my life, whether it's creating personal or professional work. I continue to explore new avenues for my creativity and connecting with my local community of artists. In 2020 a friend and I created a virtual art show, and subsequently an Instagram account called Create & Connect meant to connect artists with opportunities to create, share, and sell their work.” For more information on Sarah & her work visit: www.sarahparker.art Instagram: @extracelestial_being www.instagram.com/extracelestial_being/ www.facebook.com/Sarah-Parker-Art |
