If you are into edgy photography, make sure to check out artist Kyle Braun’s booth in the Artists on the Rise section of the festival. He often photographs urban ruins, graffiti, and industrial settings- all located around the St. Louis area. Many of his photos include vivid, eye-catching colors and color contrasts that captivate viewers and leave them hungry for more. In addition to his primary medium being photography, Kyle also re-purposes and sculpts automotive material. It is apparent that Kyle has a wide range of talents within the artistic spectrum, and we are excited for him to share them with us at the festival.
Lastly, do not forget the headliner of the Rise Up Festival- THE ORIGINAL WAILERS! Bob Marley’s original band members from Jamaica will be taking the stage at 9:30PM.
