FESTIVAL
20 ARTISTS FOR 20 YEARS
Live dance. Live movement. Live art.
June 26 – 29, 2025
Over a year ago twenty artists were selected to offer something for our 20th anniversary. In our follow up conversations with them, they all expressed a desire to perform and present live dance and movement.
A curatorial committee will come together to thoughtfully choose which artists will share their work on which dates over a 4-day festival in June. Block these four days off in your calendar because every day will be different!
