This year, Arts for Art proudly celebrates 25 years of a collective artistic vision. Vision Festival 25: Breaking Free, Coming Home will bring together the buoyant voices of hundreds of artists of various disciplines—Free Jazz, poetry, visual arts, conversations— to speak the message of hope and justice with unfettered creativity.

Since 1996, the Vision Festival has created and guaranteed a space for improvisation as a leading creative language, and has been named “one of New York’s most essential art events” by The New York Times.

Vision 25 will take place over seven nights, July 22-23 and 29-30 at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, and July 24-25 and 31 at The Clemente in the Lower East Side, and all events will be in-person, outdoors and livestreamed. Tickets are available now at Eventbrite.
