Lunch with Live in America | Las Vegas
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 Las Vegas facilitators Justin Favela and Wendy Kveck to discuss the city, place, and wonder of Las Vegas with Carra Martinez, director of Live in America, and Cynthia Post Hunt, programmer of theater and dance at the Momentary.
“Visibility leads to representation and representation matters! Live in America strives to celebrate vibrant art communities that may be overlooked by the greater “Art World.” From Las Vegas to Northwest Arkansas, this festival will be bridging the gap between vastly different regions of America that share the same love for performance and shining a spotlight on what brings us together.” – Justin Favela, Las Vegas-based Artist

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.
