Despite the ravages of the current Pandemic, the LADY GOT CHOPS FESTIVAL is evolving into new platforms of
online communication which represent the desires of like minded individuals who:
1 celebrate women's excellence of contribution to humanity during March Women's History Month by either performing, promoting or attending events or showings
2 can provide a host space which will house the artist for the date or dates of performance or showing
3 find benefit in freely provided promotion which will bring attention to their art or venue as well as a feeling of fellowship through participation.
4 network with the public as well as other musicians arts and venues
5 value the education provided by the elders and experienced in the arts
6 have a progressive outlook while maintaining a realistic view of the climate of the arts and life.
