The Six Degrees of TNC Show

It’s the 6/6 show and this month we’re thinking about Family! We often get asked how artists end up in our space — come check out six artists with six different relationships to TNC.

Now the longest currently running Asian American mic series in the country, TNC highlights new work in visual and performing arts from the Los Angeles and Asian American artistic community in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo. Join us for our 19th season at one of the longest running free public arts series' in downtown Los Angeles.
