Celebrate the healing and unifying power of the arts in the community-led Art is Vital Fiesta premiering simultaneously in 18 cities nationwide. Presented at the Edward B. Berger Performing Arts Center.

Inspired by the inter-city Federal Theatre Project in 1936, the Arts for Everybody Project brings together people and communities to prove how the arts can lead to healthier people and communities. Cities nationwide will collectively answer the prompt “No Place Like Home” through large-scale participatory arts projects drawing on sounds, styles, and stories of their communities.

Tucson’s Art is Vital Fiesta will kick off with a concert reading of “Anita,” a new musical about the power of joy to create a sense of home and belonging. The experience will also feature live music by local award-winning mariachi bands, heritage food booths, art exhibits, interactive activities promoting the connection between arts participation and personal and collective wellbeing, and a special “Art is Vital” art contest winner presentation by Tucson Mayor Regina Romero.

This experience is presented together with Arts for Everybody, Borderlands Theater, Galeria Mitotera, and the City of Tucson.
