Perhaps the surest sign of human resilience is in the rise of creativity, the art spirit.
Filmed on November 10, 2019 at Paradise Performing Arts Center, ‘Joy Will Find a Way’ brought together 150 accomplished and emerging artists in a variety of disciplines —music, theatre, dance, poetry and prose, photography, film, painting, sculpture and other visual arts—in a presentation of mostly original arts expressing the experience of our community through a narrative of remembrance, recovery and resurgence.
