Inverse Performance Art Festival

INVERSE , a festival for performance art, is coming to Northwest Arkansas April 21 – 23, 2016. Organized and curated by Cynthia Post Hunt of Fayetteville, AR and Emma Saperstein of Dallas, TX, the festival seeks to elevate the medium of performance in the Northwest Arkansas region. Including artists recognized on local, national, and international platforms, this festival will host a variety of performances with diversity of content and duration. Alternately, it will highlight the already existing and thriving art community in Northwest Arkansas. INVERSE is educational and collaborative. The weekend will consist of artist lectures and performances. Events will be held on Friday, April 22 at 21c in Bentonville, and on Saturday, April 23 at various venues in Fayetteville, including Backspace, Lalaland, Local Color Studio Gallery, the Shed, Sugar Gallery, and the Fayetteville Underground.

We are currently seeking funding for artist's travel. We have received applications from artists across the country and the world and their work being present would make the festival much richer. However, many of our artists need fiscal support in order to travel to Arkansas and participate.
