A night of Black art, music, and community
Southside Sessions will kick off Friday, March 21, at The Legacy Building in South Minneapolis, bringing together artists, musicians, and creatives for a night of expression, collaboration, and culture.
Presented by Soul of the Southside in partnership with KRSM Radio, the event is more than just entertainment—it’s a creative sanctuary where musicians, poets, and visual artists can connect, experiment, and build community.
A year-round celebration of Black creativity
What began as a one-day festival has evolved into a yearlong movement. Soul of the Southside has always been about more than just a single event—it’s about creating lasting spaces for Black artistry to thrive.
Southside Sessions continues that mission by offering a platform for emerging and established talent to share their work and engage with the community. On March 21, The Legacy Building will open its doors for a jam session, open mic, and live art experience.
What to expect at Southside Sessions
🎶 Live music and jam session – Whether you sing, rap, play an instrument, or just love music, this is a space for spontaneous collaboration and soulful sounds.
🎤 Open mic – Poets, storytellers, vocalists, and MCs are invited to step up and share their voice. The mic is open, the crowd is listening, and the energy is set for raw, authentic expression.
🎨 Community art experience – BYOC (Bring Your Own Canvas/Clothes) and paint freely using community-donated brushes and supplies. Whether it’s on fabric, canvas, or something unique from home, this is a chance to create without limits.
🔥 Creative energy and good vibes – A safe, welcoming space for artists and audiences to meet, share, and build together.
