Live Painters
Ton’yah MaHogany
Ton’yah MaHogany
Ton’yah MaHogany Davis is a multidisciplinary artist from Long Island, New York. Fascinated by faces and ethnic features, Davis often describes herself as a portrait artist but when she isn’t painting a portrait she’s playing with form, surrealism, and symbolism. Much of her work is born from conversations with people, self interests, or big questions about the world and with that in mind she is passionate about accuracy, creative freedom, and aesthetics.
Davis will always consider herself a student of art but not an amateur. With the support from her mother at the early age of two, Davis has only ever wanted to be an artist and any interest outside of that must marry that passion. This is exemplified in her work as a sneaker customizer, art teacher, and face painter.
“I’ll always be an artist, and as long as I’m breathing. My work is not done.”
Creativ Storm
Creativ Storm is a skillful and influential visual artist hailing from the vibrant borough of Brooklyn, New York. With a passion for self-expression through education and visual arts, Creativ Storm has left an unforgettable mark in the art community.
Known for his unique artistic style that combines elements of modern art with a graffiti and street art edge. Creativ Storm’s work can be seen in galleries, social networking platforms, and clothing throughout the borough. His art tells a story of creativity, hip hop, and a deep connection to the city that he calls home.

Live Musicians
Nina Fitzgerald
Nina Fitzgerald crafts dark folk rock with an emo twist — think Avril Lavigne with a banjo. Her heartfelt fusion of alternative emo and Americana debuted in 2024 with the release of her first official tracks, “Effigy Baby” and “Sweet Sixteen Sweetheart”. Since then, she has been writing and producing her own music, bringing twangy angst to venues across NYC and Brooklyn with her energized live band. She draws inspiration from artists like Michelle Branch, The Avett Brothers, and Ethel Cain to deliver a uniquely dark and nostalgic sound.

Paige Keiner
Paige Keiner is a Nashville-based pop rock artist blending early 2000s guitar-driven energy with tongue-in-cheek, relatable lyrics. Influenced by Y2K artists like Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, and Hilary Duff, her songs tell (mostly true) stories drawn from her own relationships — using humor to process real emotion. With over half a million streams, 40K+ followers, and 3M+ video views across platforms, she’s made her mark in the indie pop rock scene. Paige has also written for other independent artists, with cuts including Lost Stars and Kenny Dove. Her most-streamed track “and then you die!” with Spencer Jordan and her Grand Prize win in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest are just the beginning. Her latest single “Ugly Love” dropped in October 2024, with more music on the way in 2025.

Piper Toohey Olsen
Piper Toohey Olsen
FROM WOODINVILLE TO WOODHAVEN, PIPER “PETE” TOOHEY HAS BEEN SELF-PRODUCING SONGS IN VARIOUS STUDIO APARTMENTS. THEIR COMPLETE LACK OF ANY TECHNICAL SKILL COMBINED WITH THE EARNEST HEART OF A SONGWRITER HAS LED TO NOTHING SHORT OF ENDEARING LO-FI SONGS THAT RESONATE IN THE PRIVATE LIVES OF MANY A YEARNER ACROSS THE GLOBE. WHILE STARDOM MAY NOT BE IN THE CARDS FOR THIS OLD DOG, TREASURES NONETHELESS ARE SCATTERED IN THEIR PATH. SUCH AS: DMS FROM STRANGERS DETAILING WHICH SONGS HAVE GOTTEN THEM THROUGH WHICH PERSONAL CRISES; CROWDS OF ALMOST FIFTEEN AT BASEMENT SHOWS IN BROOKLYN; REALLY HUGE NUMBERS ON STREAMING PLATFORMS THAT AMOUNT TO ALMOST NOTHING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD… AND MORE UNTOLD FORTUNE.
