Hello Play Listers,

It’s that time of the year — as we dip into sweater weather and get more introspective, our minds crave more stimulation. We seek out conversations and ask big questions. 

Enter Arc Fest: Free Press Indiana’s one-day palooza bringing together influential voices, artists, journalists, civic leaders and community members. 

The free festival is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 3 at IU Indianapolis’ Hine Hall.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once famously said, “The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.”

Arc Fest runs with this sentiment to explore our next chapter in the American story, as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.

Play List will be there! Arts & culture reporter Mesgana Waiss and Select Few Sessions creator Troy Freeman will host the Play List stage, featuring sets from DJ Chyna and DJ SoundsbyCam between live performances.

Here’s the performer lineup:

10 a.m. Welcome and spoken word by Jayda Dawn, Poetry Out Loud national champion

11:10 a.m. The Black Briefing (live podcast recording)

12:55 p.m. King Dierre (hip-hop)

1:05 p.m. Pam Blevins Hinkle (communal folk singing)

2:15 p.m. Clint Breeze and Friends (jazz)

3 p.m. The FAB Podcast (live recording)

4:25 p.m. Rebel Noire and the Accomplices (rock)
