The Keep on Truckin' Tour, powered by Tandy Beal and Company and a lot of great friends, presents exceptional artists in free mini-shows on a flatbed truck, outside for small audiences. Knowing that everyone is a bit stressed, we are offering this taste of art to uplift our neighborhoods. Come meet us and make sure you wear your masks and keep your distances social! If not, the truck will unfortunately have to move on, as we want to keep everyone safe. Most of all, we want to give a burst of joy! The show will be about 10-15 minutes long.

Last weekend, Iman Lizarazu, Eccentric Clown from the Basque region of France, and Bryan Dyer, singer with SoVoSo, Linda Tillery, and Keith Terry's Crosspulse Ensemble, helped us kick off the Tour. We stopped at parks all over Santa Cruz both Saturday and Sunday, and had so much fun bringing art and laughter to our neighbors.

We have one more Tour day before we take a break to wait for spring weather. Our artists are Coventry and Kaluza, the award winning clowning duo from the Bay Area. You may have seen them in our Joy and Mixed Nutz shows (Kaluza is the Hoop Gal - wow!!), and in our ArtSmart Family Series downtown.
