Boston — Express Yourself and the Department of Mental Health Present: Bloom! In collaboration with Lilly Pullitzer

We are so excited to welcome Lilly Pulitzer Print Artist Melissa Sixma Lingo to the BLOOM stage this year! Melissa (BFA, MFA Savannah College of Art and Design) is the Senior Creative Content Print Artist for fashion brand Lilly Pulitzer. She paints murals and art works for their retail locations, has created original clothing print designs, and has made artwork for brand events. Thank you to Lilly Pulitzer for this BLOOMing collaboration!  

In addition, the Pack Drumline is back bringing their dynamic energy to the BLOOM stage. This electric musical group kicked off Season 17 of America’s Got Talent. They are the official drumline for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks & Chicago Sky (WNBA). Our Youth are thrilled to once again collaborate with Tyler Austin, Damien Hemphill, Lanoris Holoman, Lavontea Mayfield and D'Andre Moore.
