Experimentation and exploration are at the core of every thriving arts community. We know that the artists we need in order to have a thriving creative community are already here, but they are often hidden away in their own separate studios and homes.

Olly Olly is a call for local artists to come out FROM THEIR HIDING PLACES

Founded in 2014 by Jessica Kallista, Olly Olly is a call for local artists to come out from their hiding places to connect compassionately and think critically with other creatives. Olly Olly celebrates love, art, music, poetry, compassion, connection, authenticity, critical thought, mutual aid, collaboration, revolution, joy, integrity, pleasure, and bliss.

We collect non-perishable food for Britepaths at all of our events. Britepaths provides a number of services, including a food bank, which provides short-term emergency food assistance to Fairfax County area residents who are in crisis. 

Olly Olly wants to nourish the body and the community as well. We encourage you to bring a healthy non-perishable food item to donate.
