LEAF + ShowTime

Striking a Pose for Community: LEAF Partners with Show Time Photo Booth!

At LEAF Global Arts, we are all about creating “aha!” moments—those fleeting seconds where music, art, and community collide to create a lasting memory. Today, we are excited to announce a new partnership that will help you capture those moments in style!

We’ve officially teamed up with our friends at Show Time Photo Booth to bring another touch of magic to our upcoming gatherings.

A Backdrop Designed for the LEAF Family
Whether you’ve been part of the LEAF family for thirty years or are just joining us for the first time, we want your memories to reflect the vibrant spirit of our mission. To celebrate this partnership, Show Time Photo Booth will now feature an exclusive LEAF branded backdrop.

This custom design serves as a beautiful canvas for your LEAF photos, ensuring that every smile and “LEAF-y” hug is framed by the colors and symbols of our global community. It’s more than just a background; it’s a piece of our shared identity that you can take home with you.

Why We’re Excited
Connecting Through Art: Just as music connects us, so does the joy of a shared photo. This partnership gives our community a fun, interactive way to engage with one another.

Supporting Local: We love working with local partners like Show Time who understand the importance of experience and connection.

Preserving the Magic: As we continue our journey of Resilience & Renewal, documenting the joy of our community is more important than ever. These photos are a testament to the power of the arts.

Where to Find the Backdrop
Keep an eye out for the Show Time Photo Backdrop at our upcoming events! Step in front of the LEAF backdrop, grab your friends, and capture a memory that honors the global spirit we build together every day.

We can’t wait to see your photos! Don’t forget to tag us @LEAFGlobalArts and use the hashtag #LEAFMagic so we can share in the fun.

 

AN URGENT LETTER FROM THE LEAF BOARD:

For nearly 30 years, LEAF Global Arts has connected people through the power of art, music, and culture. Every shared moment has been made possible because of you – our community.

The LEAF Festival is critical to funding LEAF’s larger work: providing global cultural arts programming for thousands of local youth and preserving cultures and traditions around the world.

This year, we are facing a financial crossroads: between the loss of last fall’s Festival, losing a majority of our arts education funding in 2025, and not fully recovering from COVID, the future is bleak. The upcoming LEAF Festival could be our last if we don’t come together to sustain the heart of LEAF’s mission – but we have seen what this community can do when united for a cause greater than itself.

To open the Festival experience to as many people as possible, and to rally the full spirit of LEAF, we are offering a limited number of LEAF LOVE Tickets at a significant discount.

These special tickets, offered at 30% off (our highest discount, even more so than our Early Bird pricing) are our way of ensuring everyone has a place in this story. Full-priced tickets also remain available for those with the means to give a little more to help support LEAF’s vital work.

Your presence, your voice, and your support matter more than ever right now. Join us in making this LEAF Festival one that the world will never forget and ensuring the music continues for generations to come. 

Mayani is a Maasai boy from longido Arusha. He went to boarding school at 6 years old and lost his Maasai language and tradition. Since joining the LEAF program, he has learned to sing Maasai songs, practiced the ‘jump’ tradition and wear Maasai shukas (traditional clothing). Mayani is extremely happy and is currently teaching other youth the culture.
