Gray Area Festival

Wednesday, Sept 23 - Saturday, Sept 26

Join us for Gray Areas annual survey of culture through the lens of creative practice with artist presentations, conversations, workshops, and an exhibition — now accessible online around the world.

Now in its 6th year, Gray Area Festival expands beyond its focus on experiential exhibitions into an exploration of artists working in Radical Simulation — using immersive worldbuilding to reimagine adjacent possible presents through themes of embodiment, social justice, identity, decolonialism, and regenerative ecology.

In this unique online festival, experience artist presentations from within virtual worlds, and engage with a global community bringing together diverse backgrounds and perspectives to creatively address the critical issues facing our rapidly evolving reality.
