Human: A Pretty Monstrous Experience, An arts festival intended to celebrate our 41st season.

While the entirety of humanity encounters this pandemic together, our artists continue to connect while examining what is essential during this pretty monstrous experience. We invite you to join us online May 9th as we celebrate artistic courage, perseverance and the healing power of sharing stories of family, ritual, and truth. A variety of artistic responses inspired by Kelly Link’s Pretty Monsters and our responsibility in navigating fear and social divide will knock down the barriers of isolation. Keeping true to festival style, this re-imagined artist market will feature a Blood Drive with Life South from 12pm – 6pm in our parking lot, shared recipes online, and virtual world premieres by Theresa Davis, Destiny Thompson, Corian Ellisor, Stungunphotography, Nicolette Emanuelle, Devi Wells, and many more!

Tune in between 12 and 6 pm for all of these world premieres complete with introductions via live feed from the blood drive to keep you company along the way. Do you prefer to binge? We’ve got you covered there, too! We’ll be releasing the entire playlist of performances on our YouTube channel at 6 pm. Let’s get weird!
