Featured Artist Program

Education Program
ShapeShifter Plus is proud to collaborate with organizations, like the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, on their youth music education programs. In 2023, our Young Adults Program will include workshops, masterclasses, talks with well-known musicians, and performances for up-and-coming musicians dedicated to developing their craft.
Weekly Open Jam
Every week, a new artist will host a jam session that will be free and open to the public.
Art Exhibition Collaborations
ShapeShifter Plus also loves to collaborate with visual artists. We have ample wall canvases to exhibit artwork to the public on the ground and 2nd floors. Located in a lively neighborhood, we want to bring the visual arts element to our community as it is an integral part of creativity, education, and collaboration.
