We are still feeling blissed out, inspired, and convicted by the 2025 Arts & Justice Festival!

Our 3rd annual festival was attended by over 200 community members and challenged us to consider what justice looks like in our natural environment, in our relationships to race and ethnicity, and in our genders and sexuality. Through film, dialogue, visual art, music, dance, and even roller skating, we took up space for bold ideas and envisioned new futures.

We are grateful to the Barr Foundation’s Catalyzing Vitality program for allowing us to make the festival free to the public. We are also grateful for our partnerships with , , .boston, , , , Melissa Ferretti and our amazing panelists. You made the festival dynamic and artful.
