By - posted 4/3/2013 No Comment

 The Mission Arts Performance Project (MAPP) sprawl over  20+ venues as well as public spaces, street corners, BART stations, cafes, bars, taquerias, homes all over La Mission from around 6pm until late.

The event features taking common spaces and for one chaotic evening transforming them into whatever we want including free live music, Spoken word, Performance art, Film screenings, BBQs, garage sales, unorthodox conversations and happenings

The event is loosely “organized” so although there is a schedule our best advice is to just show up around 7pm, wander around the Mission and discover.
