More than a decade ago, King had a dream: To create a platform where artists of every kind regardless of race, gender, or ability could rise, connect, and share their brilliance with the world.

From this dream came SLAP — Support Local Artists Please — a heartfelt plea to the community and a bold, joyful invitation to be SLAPPED by artistry that awakens the soul.

To King, artistry isn't just entertainment; it is the heartbeat of a thriving community, a universal language that transcends barriers and reveals beauty in diversity.
