<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe idea of No 3 came from Chanel No 5. Chanel No 5 is defined as a classic now and forever fragrance, which is what we are creating out of Paseo, a now and forever platform.\u201d Tessa Kriss said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meaning of Paseo also has 3 interpretations: Unity, Community, and Change. Lewis and Kriss are in their final semester of the graphic design program.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis semester was pretty challenging\u2014 due to the fact that we are also prepping for the senior art show which will take place the following week. We chose to squeeze in another show since we aren\u2019t sure if we will have one in March.\u201d Lewis said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group knew what to expect from the demands of organizing a show and were satisfied with the outcome. The turnout to the show packed the studio space throughout the night.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The night\u2019s main performance was the open mic, which allowed performers, musicians, and poets to showcase their work.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe open mic can really bring people out of their comfort zone; even if someone happened to stumble their words on stage, people still show love and support. It\u2019s really all about bringing people together.\u201d Lewis said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matty Perkins, also known as \u201cMatty P\u201d is a recent 2019 masters graduate in Sports Administration from FHSU, who recited his poetry several times at the event.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Paseo has been his first experience performing in front of an audience; the feeling of recognition and being relatable to the audience keeps him coming back.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI grew up with a stuttering problem, but when I get on stage that all changes. I love able to overcome my own challenges and get on stage.\u201d Perkins said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His poems focus on speaking up about relationships and hardships in life. Perkins is influenced by R and B music that he grew up listening to. His passions include creating relationships and sharing creative ideas and getting to be a role model as a coach. Perkins was grateful to be at the Paseo show.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t get many opportunities to share my art with other creatives. It means a lot.\u201d Perkins said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Paseo has success in their Hays community art shows with new art and new faces turning out for each show. The group is hopeful for the future continuation of the event and building of artistic presence in Hays.
