What is The Plug Party?
Plug Party is a rotating community experience curated by Beebe Arts LLC, designed to connect Detroit to the people, practices, and organizations shaping our creative and cultural future.
Each edition takes on a different form. From anniversary celebrations featuring local organizations, to open mics with artists and resource partners, to the Practice + Play series centering art and mental health workshops, Plug Party is an evolving ecosystem of connection.
Every artist, facilitator, vendor, and flyer is a plug into something powerful.
Every gathering is an invitation to stay connected.

Description: Proof of Life is a visual metaphor for emerging from a creative block. As an artist who has been creating intentionally for the past 15 years, I've experienced the highs and lows of inspiration and discipline. In this piece, I’ve turned artwork featured in my yearly calendars into a collage of a flower blooming surrounded by symbols that speak to the energy needed to endure the creative cycles of rebirth.

As I shifted my mindset from happiness as a default goal, I found myself mystified by the idea that joy was a sense of peace and appreciation that extends beyond fixed instances and reasons. Joy, it seemed to me, was a condition of the heart that could be reached regardless of the subjective quality of our experiences. Joy also seemed significantly harder to experience than happiness, as it is found deep in the essence of our existence and seems to have a holy or sacred purpose. In creating Joy Portal I created a visual experience that would remind my soul that joy was an intentional choice I could always make.
Intended Placement: Use this piece in spaces and rituals aimed at grounding and connecting with joy throughout the day.

As I've done things that felt impossible, I've learned that with a clear intention, even steps taken in chaos can still lead down the right path. With Esoteric Temple Blueprint I used layering and techniques that complicated the journey toward the piece feeling complete. I chose colors that typically drown each other out and patterns that would typically be too busy to pair with others and allowed myself to work through the process of making it beautiful. Though the journey from layer to layer felt ugly at first, I slowly noticed a blueprint-like layout beginning to emerge. This blueprint reminds me that even in the least optimal circumstances, my intention and presence of mind can continue to lead me to exactly where I need to be.
Intended Placement: Use this piece to bring clarity and grounding to spaces and habits that facilitate learning or growth or currently feel unclear/misguided
