A challenging year is behind us, and while there is much work that still must be done, we are moving into this new year with optimism and hope. With this year’s festival theme, EMERGE, we invite participants to explore the opportunities of adaptation and change as we move forward with what we’ve learned from 2020.
We hope to finally come together in a safe way in August 2021.
Stay tuned – Call for Proposals are coming your way early March!
