New for 2026 Inspiration Station!

We're excited to announce the addition of the Inspiration Station tent where we're piloting a new program intended to deepen attendee engagement by creating opportunities to hear directly from artists, to view art being made, and to participate in the making of art. We're curating a schedule that includes programming for children and adults, and we’d love to hear ideas from folks interested in presenting.
