Lunch with Live in America
Add some art to your lunch break! Tune in for a conversation with many of the thinkers and makers of the upcoming 2021 Live in America Festival. Join us for lunch with the local Northwest Arkansas team, Amber Perrodin, Octavio Logo, and Danny Baskin. Carra Martinez, director of Live in America, and Cynthia Post Hunt, programmer of theater and dance at the Momentary, will discuss with them what it means to host and to be hosted, including the many ways in which we’re excited to host such an amazing group of artists in our region next year.
“Live in America is working to discover and celebrate the most unique, grassroots, and local art scenes from across the nation, including Northwest Arkansas. By engaging local artists at the community level, Live in America has been able to tap into a rich arena of performance art, musicians, dancers, and artists in each of these communities that will all coalesce in one not-to-be-missed festival.” – Arkansas-based mixed media artist Amber Perrodin

ABOUT LIVE IN AMERICA
Live in America is a multi-year research process and festival created and developed by Austin-based nonprofit arts organization Fusebox. The inaugural Live in America Festival will take place at the Momentary on October 13-24, 2021, and will present more than 300 artists from eight distinct communities across the US, its territories, and Mexico by way of 30 events over the course of two weeks.
Live in America explores how festivals might be programmed communally, pushing the boundaries of form, function, and social impact within the contemporary performing arts genre. All programming for the festival has been selected by a diverse team of artists and facilitators, including members from each of the eight communities, which include Northwest Arkansas; Las Vegas, Nevada; the Apache, Diné, and Pueblo nations of Albuquerque, New Mexico; the sister cities of El Paso, Texas and Juárez, Mexico; New Orleans, Louisiana; Sumter County, Alabama; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Detroit, Michigan.
