Join us at Momentum Studios for a special evening of live music with vocalist Jessica Lucas and Still Sound, an intimate dialogue between musical traditions, where improvisation, musical exchange, and the unexpected moments between musicians take center stage.
For this special Momentum After Hours performance, seating will be arranged in the round, bringing you closer to the music and the musicians. Cushions will be available, or bring your own favorite floor pillow. Chairs will also be provided, so you can settle in however you feel most comfortable. Come ready to slow down, listen deeply, and let Jessica’s voice and the music carry you away for a unique, immersive evening at Momentum Studios.
About Jessica Lucas
Originally from Portugal and now based between New York City and Alaska, Jessica brings a global perspective to her music, shaped by storytelling, emotional honesty, and the freedom of improvisation. Her journey has taken her from studying jazz in Portugal to exploring New York’s vibrant jazz scene and immersing herself in Cuban music and dance. The result is a sound that is both deeply personal and wonderfully expansive.
✨ Gallery opens: 7:00 PM

Now Accepting Art Proposals
One Night. Two Ways to Experience Art.
After Hours brings visual art and live performance together in one intimate space, giving artists the chance to share their work with an audience that’s there to discover something new. Your work becomes part of a bigger creative experience, where people can move between the gallery, the performance, and the conversations that happen in between.
It’s not just an opening or a show, it’s a night built around experiencing local art together.
VISUAL ARTISTS - Momentum Studios is now accepting submissions from visual artists to feature in our After Hours series. Each exhibition runs for a full month, with setup during the week before First Friday and takedown during the last week of the month. Artists receive promotion across Momentum’s programs, a public gallery opening, and the opportunity to sell their work. Momentum Studios also handles sales of your work for you throughout the month, making it easy for visitors to purchase pieces beyond opening night.
Our gallery is a welcoming space where Anchorage’s creative community come together. Whether you work in painting, photography, digital media, or mixed media, we encourage you to share your work with our vibrant audience.
PERFORMING ARTISTS - After Hours transforms Momentum Studios into an intimate, all-ages listening room and performance space where artists can really connect with an audience. We’ve hosted musicians, dancers, poets, writers, and more—and each performance is a chance to create something uniquely your own.
Artists receive a stipend, along with sound, lighting, and production support. Most importantly, we collaborate directly with you to shape the experience, creating a night that puts your artistry and work at the center.
