Impact

These two festivals are an economic driver - boosting tourism, helping to animate cities, celebrating diversity, and improving residents' and guests' quality of life. They provide a platform to engage with broad and diverse audiences while playing a role in bringing art to the masses. They are also critical in providing access to the arts in local communities and a chance for the artists to meet the public.
