For more than twenty years, the Festival has remained steadfast in its mission to bring together diverse and distinct communities through arts and ideas.
You may not know this… but ticket sales only cover a small percentage of what we need to put on a world-class festival. Without the support of people like you, we simply could not do what we do. Two world premieres, one East Coast premiere, and more than 85% of events offered free of charge!
Please consider giving a gift to help ensure that we fulfill our mission, and support the future of our Festival as well as the community we serve.
