An Evening with The Residency in 3-D

Celebrating 10 Years of Dedication, Development & Dopeness

Join us for an unforgettable night to celebrate ten amazing years for The Residency at the historic Showbox. Featuring appearances and performances by Macklemore, program alumni and special guests, this event is a fundraiser for local arts and a celebration of music.

The Residency amplifies young voices through the transformative power of hip-hop, cultivating artistry, leadership, community impact and entrepreneurship. We empower youth to tell their stories, claim their power, and shape culture.

The event will feature live music, lite bites, a live and silent auction, and unforgettable performances. This celebration is more than a party—it’s a living archive of our roots and a launchpad for what’s next.

The Residency Program Overview

“The Residency taught me that artistry is not a profession but a lifestyle. It impacted me so profoundly, it gave me exactly what I needed. The program exposed me to folks of all different backgrounds that are reaching for what they want in life. The impact that this program had on me is something I will forever be grateful for.”

– MONICA ELENES, VOCAL PARTICIPANT 2016.
