Alfred Summer Arts: Making Meaning in an Uncertain World

Alfred Summer Arts 2022 features four week-long arts workshops in a variety of media areas designed for participants working at all levels: artists, teachers, community members and visiting professionals. Week three will feature an immersive five-day festival designed to embrace the creativity of the community in collaboration with local and international visiting artists.

Hosting a diversity of one-week intensives ranging from indigo dying, painting, and printmaking, to hip-hop, somatic movement, and podcasting, there is something for anyone seeking hands on creative growth. Focus on a single method, or join during the festival week to create with world class international artists and scholars from across the disciplines in our unique setting.
