Arts & Communication Festival
April 6-11, 2026
This April 6–11, express yourself.
Come create, connect, and communicate in ways that move people.
Creativity and communication help us navigate change, spark connection, and imagine what’s possible. This year’s festival celebrates the power of your voice, your ideas, and your art. Join us April 6–11, 2026, as we come together to share bold expression, meaningful dialogue, and work that informs, transforms, and connects—designing, performing, and communicating in ways that move people.
