Director's PROCLAMATION


Welcome to the FREE STATE of Marginal Arts! For the six days of Marginal Arts Festival underrepresented communities, art forms, voices and artists of the region DECLARE their INDEPENDENCE from the hum-drum everyday, and intend to celebrate the carnival season!

Join us for absurdist activities, insightful discussions, carnival parades, scholarly lectures, top-flight performances, frolic and revelry, challenging museum and gallery exhibitions, family fun, literary readings,hands-on workshops, avant music, multimedia collaborations, international underground art forms and Community bonding hilarity! WE declare that it is the CITIZENS that define the city, not the other way around. The artists, entrepreneurs and small communities that OCCUPY our city can make this our region a better place to live by starting a dialog. Grab your rubber chicken, silly hat or crazy costume and TAKE TO THE STREETS. Party 'till Mardi Gras because the Free State ends on Fat Tuesday!

Brian Counihan, Marginal Arts Festival Director
