ABOUT ARTX

What happens when you pair a poet with an astronomer, a performance troupe with a forest service expert, a renowned installation artist with students from an after school program, or a traditional Native dance group with an emerging playwright? Unexpected experiences emerge that are authentic and evocative of the diverse lived experiences of the Southwest.

FLAGSTAFF’S ARTX INVITES THE CREATIVE CONTRIBUTIONS OF MANY TO CREATE A CURRENT, EXPERIENTIAL, INTERACTIVE, AND EVER EVOLVING FESTIVAL.

INTRODUCING ARTX:  ART + IDEAS EXPERIENCE ARIZONA Launching with a pilot event May 26–27, 2023 featuring two days of events, presentations, and art-centered experiences in Flagstaff, AZ.

WHAT IS ARTX? Providing a regional and national platform for local artists, creatives, and thinkers, ARTx is an annual, accessible community opportunity to engage with the arts in an immersive and interactive way.

ARTx will play a critical role in helping Creative Flagstaff fulfill its mission to foster creative opportunity and affirms the commitment to interdisciplinary creativity. A festival, done right, focuses philanthropy and corporate support for arts and culture, gains the attention of the media, gets the community involved, focuses collaborative and interdisciplinary energy, and leaves a lasting and positive impact on the community, year after year.

Dance is a big part of the event with a two-night performance outdoors at Human Nature Dance Theatre space at 4 W. Phoenix Ave. in downtown Flagstaff. Performances will start at 6pm and are free to the public. Human Nature Dance Theatre is planning collaborative performance events at Phoenix Avenue in the parking lot outside Human Nature Dance Studio, Phoenix Art Gallery and the Hive. Our overarching theme is Climate Change and how we can live in harmony with our natural world.

We will have a central performance area with two or three stages and space for our audience to sit and stand. The collaborating artists are: Human Nature Dance Theatre, Phoenix Ave Art Gallery, Flagstaff Tango, Canyon Movement Company, Ahlers Dance, FCBDance, Tina Truglio Buti Dance, Daniel Cunningham, Amruta Narumanchi Classical Indian Dance, Hydrangea Sky Movement Arts. Collaborative performances, Films by Amanda Kapp, Live music with the Hive,
