AMALGAMATION, a medley of interactive visual and performing arts, takes place on Friday, March 13, 2026 at Rhizome DC, 6-10pm. The festival’s six elements include LIVE SAMPLING, LIVE MUSIC, LIVE ART, a VENDOR MARKETPLACE, an ARTIST PANEL, and FOOD, with each event feature having a fiercely nonconformist lineup.

Local producers of multi-genred backgrounds will premiere new tracks composed live at the event using remixed samples recorded during the eclectic live music sets.
