Each year AMC participants experience the electric energy of AMC@NIGHT, from finding liberation on the dancefloor to singing our hearts out at karaoke. The Black Independence Celebration hosted by AMFM and The Gathering: An AMC Youth Party hosted by Motor City Street Dance Academy are examples of past auxiliary events that showcased the  brilliance of organizers in our network. 

AMC2020 will support up to six auxiliary nighttime events  curated by cultural organizers who have experience producing high quality, accessible and safe virtual events.

We are looking for a range of events that are engaging, fun, and showcase artists working at the intersection of social change. Selected AMC2020 @Night Auxiliary Events will be required to provide their own digital infrastructure and technical support. The AMC will promote the event and direct participants to the event location (such as Instagram Live, Twitch, Youtube, Zoom, etc.) 

The AMC is especially excited to support events curated by organizers who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+.
