Microfest: A Synthesis of Learning about Art, Culture and Place

MicroFest USA: Revitalize, Reconnect, Renew was a journey—part festival, part learning exchange—orchestrated in 2012–2013 by the Network of Ensemble Theaters (NET) to take a fresh look at the roles of art, culture, and artists in creating healthy vibrant communities. NET’s intent was twofold: to acknowledge and advance the pioneering and current work of ensemble theaters committed to community-based practice and positive community change, and to foster mutual learning with a wider spectrum of artists, cultural workers, and community partners also contributing to community well-being and social change.
