A big part of the Festival’s success comes from the programs that define it. This is where we need help from our community to fill the Festival with unique and exciting programs that invite participants to learn, grow, and explore.
This is your chance to put your own stamp on the Festival and help its attendees explore this year’s theme, _______ together.
This year’s Festival is an invitation to explore what becomes possible when we come together. What can you create with someone else that you couldn’t create alone? Who has changed the way you make, think, move, cook, build, or dream? What happens when we bring our different experiences, talents, cultures, and ideas into the same room?
