Organizers of the Wild & Precious Arts Festival are teaming up with CitySpace to produce a festival for everyone, highlighting the artistic works of women over 50 on May 27 & 28, 2022.
The Wild & Precious Arts Festival presents two joyous days of creative explorations and celebrations in venues across Easthampton. Poets responding to an art exhibit, singer-songwriters and gospel singers expressing through song, septuagenarians and octogenarians performing cabaret, and a live dance band inviting all to get down: these are but a few of the lively events that festival-goers from across western Massachusetts will experience in Easthampton’s unique locales such as Old Town Hall, Marigold Theater, Luthier’s Co-op,Galaxy, and Nini’s Ristorante.
WHY WOMEN OVER 50?
Many women artists, performers, and writers come into their own after they turn 50. Their artistic expression is emboldened by their lived-experiences.Embracing the courageous and vulnerable, this unique festival shines a light on these artists’ achievements and celebrates their creative expression, inviting all to enjoy.
