about.
AEsthetix was established in 2020 during the middle of the COVID pandemic. As creative outlets decreased, co-owners Elizabeth and Alisabeth partnered together to create new, safe events for the public to enjoy. As we move into the post-COVID world, AEsthetix strives to provide more opportunities for local artists to perform.
Elizabeth has worked in events since graduating college, and with touring and local concerts since 2009 while working for VenuWorks. In 2016, she completed Venue Management School (VMS) through the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) where she was also an elected class representative. She first started booking concerts in 2017 while working as the event manager for The Gazette. Her first touring show was the band America which played at the Paramount Theatre to a sold out crowd. From there, she continued to find ways to bring live entertainment to Cedar Rapids and to provide opportunities for local performers to participate at her events.
​
When the COVID pandemic hit in March 2020, Elizabeth found herself recently unemployed with few opportunities to find full-time employment again in the live entertainment and events world. Partnering with Alisabeth and Stillwater Coffee Company on their first Stillwater at Sunset show seemed like a great starting point to start AEsthetix.
​
As we have all missed live entertainment, now is the time for individuals, organizations, and companies to recognize how important artists are. Elizabeth hopes that through AEsthetix, local artists can be better understood and respected throughout the US, including getting paid what they’re worth.
This WILD CHILD was raised on a well balanced diet of Pat Benatar and a plateful of glitter. As a performer she has performed on stages from Los Angeles to New York -- with stops at “American Idol” and “Whisky A Go Go” in between.
Her live show is a full blown, fully choreographed, backup dancer, pop-rock production. Think Lady Gaga meets Joan Jett with a bit of P!nk sprinkled on top. She's as sweet as she is edgy - and audiences across the nation can't get enough of AVP.
​
Alisabeth is in the studio working on her 3rd solo album "Pink Renegade" and will be touring throughout 2021.
As a photographer her work has been seen in magazine, international publications, books, broadway playbills and more.
​
​
This midwestern girl performs with a flair for the dynamic and theatrical - and as one critic wrote “AVP is keeping glitter rock alive with powerfully personal lyrics and all the glam and glitz you could want”.
With her live shows drawing rave reviews, this girl is a performer to watch -- that is, if you aren’t too busy
