Past
Get a first look at our home for TBA:14 as we officially kick off the first night of the Festival with Opening Night Dinner. This year's dinner will be a nomadic block party, a "seed to plate" local meal crafted by Stacey Givens (The Side Yard Farm and The Nomadic Chef) with table vessels designed by Daniel Duford. Givens is a combination urban farmer and chef, working closely with other farmers, ranchers, and artists as collaborators and sourcing every element of the meal as locally as possible.

For TBA, Team Delicious and our cocktail soul mates, Merit Badge, will bring back a bygone era when “entertaining” meant more than a kale salad.

Learn moreMSHR presents a cybernetic system made up of hand-built analog synthesizers and digitally fabricated hieroglyphic sculptures. Light, sound, and shape are pulled through nested feedback eddies as the system unfolds. Visitors become part of the feedback cycle, steering its course through their intentional engagement and ambient presence.
Learn moreAs round as an apple, as deep as a cup is a group of projects, perhaps an exhibition, maybe a poem. The presentations are not odes to something… the artists may or may not be poets, but all of it is OF poetry. For sure the installations, performances, and publications produced will rely on poetics… the study of how different parts come together, contributing to the never-ending search for “subject.” I hope that the endeavor feels like this. Like a thing broken apart and then put together again in the mouth—made real by reading it out loud. The projects are meant to behave like the carefully chosen discordant words in a certain kind of poem. The kind of poem that is a problem to ponder.” —Kristan Kennedy
