ARTISTIC CONGRESS

Event description

Join Us for Long Wharf Theatre’s Artistic Congress
In partnership with Yale Schwarzman Center, Long Wharf Theatre invites you to a weekend dedicated to exploring why theatre is vital to a thriving democracy. This conference-style event will feature artists, scholars, and community members coming together to discuss the powerful connection between creativity and civic engagement.

The weekend begins with an artistic opening and breaking of bread, followed by interactive sessions on how artistic practices build bridges in civic spaces, elevate community stories, and inspire positive change. Through dialogue and collaboration, we’ll examine how theatre humanizes and serves as a tool for social progress, particularly in this pivotal time for our democracy.

Attendees will also have the chance to network with both local and national artists, creating opportunities for meaningful collaborations that can extend beyond this event.

This congress is a call to action—an opportunity to rally before the upcoming election and stand firm in the belief that theatre plays a critical role in strengthening our democracy. Come connect, engage, and advocate for the power of art to shape our shared future.
