Guests can expect an immersive showcase featuring live music, visual art, dance, poetry, and comedy, performed by familiar faces and standout talent from this remarkable community. The Selah Showcase is designed to highlight the depth of local artistry while creating a shared experience that connects performers and audiences alike.

This event is branded as the Selah Showcase and is supported by Selah Vie as part of an ongoing effort to uplift and invest in local creative voices.”

We invite the community to join us for an evening that celebrates Lynchburg’s talent, creativity, and artistic spirit.

In 1940, as Nazi forces shattered France, Henri Matisse chose not to flee but to remain in Nice, a quiet symbol of endurance. While the occupation deepened, members of Matisse’s family took extraordinary risks in Resistance networks, facing arrest and helping Jewish artists escape. Against this backdrop of peril and sacrifice, Matisse reinvented his art, pioneering radiant paper cut-outs and producing landmark late works like "Jazz." Drawing on letters and newly explored archives, Gorham traces how Matisse transformed illness, guilt, and wartime terror into works of fierce beauty, reframing imagination itself as a form of resistance.
