Who doesn’t love @jennjolley’s music?! This kiddo does, and hopefully it inspires her to go into music, too!

The hang will be Wednesday from 1:00-2:00pm at the Blue Dot Collective booth in the Exhibit Hall. Our intent is to host an informal forum where we can exchange questions, ideas, and contacts that will plant seeds for future connections and collaborations.
