The Power of Truths Arts & Education Festival envisions a world where arts and education are utilized to bring about communities where justice and equity are the standards, not outliers. We center the practice that the arts and humanities are powerful tools to envision and create a more just world.
The 2nd Annual Power of Truths Arts & Education Festival builds on the previous year’s event with even more thought provoking and inspiring presenters, performances, talks, panels, and workshops with the purpose of inspiring educators and learners to focus on the intersections between arts and education as tools for power that build toward a just and equitable society.
Join us on Saturday, April 29 and Sunday, April 30 for a powerful series of experiences. Saturday night will be “Know the Ledge: Hiphop History Live”, a multimedia performance using arts and storytelling to bring the audience on powerful journeys through history; a separate ticket is required for this event.
With a Festival Pass, you will have access to all workshop, keynote, and panel sessions on Saturday (10am – 5pm) and Sunday (11am – 4pm). Lunch on Saturday is included with the Festival Pass.
