JACKSON, MI -- What started as a few like minds wanting to throw a painting session has evolved into a 'mega multi-medium art event.'

"Renegade: Break Out" will consist of live music, art and spoken word performances; not to mention pizza and Cuppa Coffee between noon and 9 p.m. Sunday.

The gathering will happen at the old Special Olympics Building, 1708 S. Jackson St.

"It all started back in November when a few artists and I talked about getting together and putting some canvases up," said Barry Olson, one the event's organizers. "It just kept growing and developed into something pretty cool."

Olson said the November event featured about 15 artists and musicians at 207 W. Wesley St., which brought in 150 people between noon and 6 p.m.

This time around there are at least 35 artists, 11 local bands and a handful of spoken word acts set to perform. Not only have the number of artists grown, but the event has expanded three hours.

"We're going to have live artists setting up shop treating it like a studio in addition to the displays, band performances," he said. "There's even going to be someone walking around with a GoPro making sure we capture everything."

Olson, 23, said the lack of options for musicians and artists to show off their work is one of the reasons for these events.

The Jackson native said this second Renegade event will have all the bells and whistles thanks to the more open floor plan and structural sound building.
