Ryan ‘RnB’ Barber performance

Ryan “RnB” Barber is LEAF’s Spark the Arts artist in residence for February 2024. He will perform on Friday, February 23, at 7 p.m. in LEAF Global Arts’ Sound Underground. Free event.

The North Carolina Arts Council created Spark the Arts as an awareness campaign. It was designed to inspire public participation in the arts across the state by highlighting the unique way the arts lift spirits, bring people together, and heal. “Recognizing that the people of North Carolina are the spark that keeps the arts alive, well, and thriving, our goal is to ignite the resurgence of our state’s arts sector from the pandemic by connecting residents and visitors to arts experiences and arts stories across our state,” says the North Carolina Arts Council.
