You’re invited to the J’s annual benefit concert and art showcase – Art in the Alley! On Saturday, August 4, we will have live music, food trucks, a beer & wine garden, art activities, demonstrations, raffle and more. It all takes place behind the Jansen Art Center in Judson Alley. We’re planning a fun, outdoor dance party in celebration of the arts in our community.

Entertainment
THE CHANCELLORS
The Chancellors are an eight-piece funk machine fronted by the fabulous Shaina Shepperd. Armed with horns and a tight rhythm section, the band performs a wide selection of Funk, R&B, Motown, Soul, and Pop, driving the music to keep any dance floor on fire. With three horns, a relentlessly grooving rhythm section, sassy arrangements and belting vocals, The Chancellors put on an energetic performance that’s fun for everyone.
As fans of lesser-known funk, the members of The Chancellors make a point to include the great songs that don’t get remembered along with the hits everybody loves. Whether it’s Sly Stone, Betty Davis, Michael Jackson, PFunk, Tina Turner or The Meters, as long as you can break a sweat dancing to it, The Chancellors play it!
SHER VADINSKA & MARGARET WILDER
Bellingham musicians Sher Vadinska, guitar and Margaret Wilder, piano, will start the evening off with a selection of blues, funk, rock and R&B.
Studio Showcase
