This past Thursday, the Uptown Collective held its 2-Year Anniversary shindig at the swank and sexy Negro Claro Lounge (3805 10th Ave). And what a shindig it was.
First of all, I would like to thank the good folks at Negro Claro for allowing us the use of their awesome space for our celebration. Secondly, much love goes out to Sasha Inoa for doing a stand up job of producing the event. I cannot thank enough the artists who performed; Benny White, Audubon and Oveous Maximus. The visual artists on hand, Alexander Reynoso and Marthalicia Matarrita were also absolutely incredible. Dee Jay Lu did his thing as always.
Lastly, a big thank you goes out to everyone that came out and supported. Neither this site nor this movement would exist without your patronage. I am still awed by the amount of talent, creativity and sheer star power that was in the room that night. The Uptown Renaissance is in full effect.
