SÉANCE Festival Will Platform Idiosyncratic Self-Expression For Self-Care

A SÉANCE will congregate at 2640 Space in Baltimore. The event, coming up on Saturday, November 8, 2025 from 5:30pm to 11pm at 2640 Space in Charles Village, raises awareness for the multiplicity of art mediums happening locally. Also, it will raise money for Rise With a Purpose, who "provides assistance to the homeless, social reform, community-based music projects & cultural exchange programs," according to the nonprofit's website.

Alicia Astronomo, Alana McCarthy Light, and Avery Reeves-Williams, all artists themselves, organized the festival to follow up POLTERGEIST, their occult-meets-catharsis themed Day of the Dead extravaganza that has a similarly chaotic lineup. SÉANCE will have dream pop, rap metal, foraged plants, mythology-themed installations, DIY card games, embroidery workshops, and more in store for attendees. Alicia, Alana, and Avery chose 2640 because of their aligning with the venue's commitment to grassroots community organizing.
