Art Festivals
An arts festival is a festival that encompasses a wide range of art genres including music, dance, film, fine art, etc. and isn’t solely focused on “visual arts”. Arts festivals may feature a mixed program that include music, literature, comedy, children’s entertainment, science, street theatre, etc. and are presented most usually in venues over a period of time ranging from as short as a day or a weekend to a month. Each event within the program will usually be separately ticketed. Arts festivals are largely curated by an Artistic Director who handles the organizations artistic direction and can encompass many different genres, including fringe theater festivals that are generally open access, Arts festivals are therefore distinctive from greenfield festivals.
