In a time when it is obvious that our government is failing to help or care about our art programs and the future of our youth, it has become apparent that it is up to each individual to take on that responsibility and do what they can to rectify this horrible injustice. Rock to the Future’s Founding Director Jessica McKay is a local individual that has stepped up to the challenge. Her award-winning Rock to the Future is “a free after school music education and youth development program open to Philadelphia students ages 9-14. The program focuses on the incorporation of music education with academics to create success in school and in life by improving cognitive thinking, learning capacity, socialization skills, self-esteem, and creative thinking.” The Deli Magazine will be presenting the Rock to the Future Benefit Show this Saturday at Danger Danger Gallery with local favorites and do-gooders Algernon Cadwallader, Conversations with Enemies, Hop Along and Power Animal. Please come join us and help support a truly worthwhile cause! But first, check out our interview with McKay HERE, and we hope that her thoughts and actions are as inspirational to you as they are to us.
