This is Happening – Spring Awakening: June 15th!!

Ladies and Gentlemen!! May I have your attention please…I am excited to announce that This is Happening – Spring Awakening is set for June 15th, at the James Island Arts & Cultural Center (JIACC), and the doors will open at 6pm! My team and I are busy putting this amazing event together that combines ROLF Fashion and live poetry performances 🙂 The evening will be one to remember as my team will transform the JIACC into a world that brings together fashion, live entertainment, a beautifully designed environment, audio transmissions to teleport you to another world, and ultimately experience the incredible talents of the poets of the Lowcountry. Our model/poet lineup for TIH – Spring Awakening is the best yet! Save the date, get your tickets, and come out to the JIACC on June 15th to support this amazing evening on James Island.
With love,
Rolf

Park Circle Gallery – A Tour of Exhibitions

Hey friends! For the month of February 2024, artists Sumaya Florez (@sumaya.florez) and myself (@rolfanthonyyoungart) took over the lovely Park Circle Gallery (@parkcirclegallery) in beautiful North Charleston, South Carolina. Our concurrent art exhibitions presented the audience with two distinct art practices. Sumaya exhibited wonderfully technical realistic paintings that honored her childhood homeland of Venezuela, and I exhibited abstract paintings focused on playful use of words and imagery mixed with different abstract techniques. I also presented fashion from my “This is Happening, the Ballad of Winter” fashion show x poetry event, an object, and finally I created a site-specific wall collage of sketches and block prints. Watch the video above for a tour of our amazing exhibitions. Enjoy!

This is Happening – GofundMe

I have started a GoFundMe page for my production company, “This is Happening”. After producing two “This is Happening” events in 2023, I completely believe we can create more events throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina by combining poetry and my fashion company, ROLF. See the pictures below for a peak into this incredible event I have built with my creative team; Creative Director and Choreographer Chris “C-Lyric” Wynn, and Community Outreach Coordinator Yasmine Mobley. Help us reach our goal and bring to life “This is Happening” events to communities that might not have access to poetry performances and fashion shows. We are very excited for the new year, 2024.

Love & Peace,
Rolf

On October 1st, 2023, Rolf Anthony Young will release his first comedy album titled “I’m Still Standing”. A comedy album that includes comedy skits based upon real events in Rolf’s life, as well as a collection of Rolf’s best jokes. Below is a quote from Rolf about the album:

“I’m Still Standing”, represents all the bullshit I have been through, that still makes me laugh to this day. As I tell audiences, I have been making myself laugh for years, so I must be a comedy expert. In the hard times, and dark times, I have been able to laugh. My grandmother taught me that. She was the funniest person I ever knew. “I’m Still Standing”, is dedicated to her.”
– Rolf Anthony Young

Please note that this album will NOT be released digitally. Only the physical copy of the comedy album will be for sale. Contact Rolf to get a copy!
