From poetry readings to live performances that integrate traditional mural painting with digital projection art by Rosanna Kalis, these programs are curated for everyone to experience the power of immersive art.

This year’s festival features artists from the United States, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Canada. Several of the artists will have their works remain on view for one year at the new Mad Arts Museum, set to open on January 30.
