Hello Subscribers!
I know it’s been a minute since I’ve posted and so much has happened and I wanted to share more about RUMP and what it is.
RUMP is a collective, a dinner party, a magazine, a studio, a pop-up, a jam session, an artist talk, a Happening, a poem, a hike, a photo book, a t-shirt, an apron, a mixtape, a band, and blah, blah,blah. Most of the events will happen in Cleveland, OH.
RUMP started in 2022 as a free Sunday dinner (it was every Sunday, we never cancelled!) at the intersection of food, music, and art. In 2023 we turned into RUMP Studio, a private studio that provides accessible rental space, equipment, and artist consulting. We still continue the free Sunday dinner tradition of our elegant evening affairs held at our place, inviting guests to immerse themselves in music, film, creative talks, and dance.
RUMP Studio is also a container for the artistic excursions of Cleveland based artists, Ryanaustin Dennis and Sal Miller, we work in collaboration with filmmakers, designers, musicians, and other creatives to help conceive of and produce new works. Recently, RUMP Studio helped produced and incubated the installation, No Two Flowers in collaboration with filmmaker Wayne Smith III for the 2023 Ingenuity Festival.
Here’s a list of some of the amazing Cleveland creatives and artists we’ve worked with:
Alexander Si -Artist
Maci Nelson - The Landscape Nerd
Imani Badillo - Curator
Wayne Smith III - Film
The Katy - Music
So, I don’t live in Cleveland how can I support, engage, and participate?
