We all grew up with fairy tales, stories that portray truths about the world dressed up in fantastical finery and whimsy. But these are so often stories of times long past, and today, whimsy seems too relegated to childhood or adolescence.
Where do you find a sense of whimsical joy in your everyday life? How do these feelings influence how you see and engage with the world around you?
In conversation with this year’s O-Jak Bridge Art and Dance Festival: Once Upon a Time, Happily Ever After aims to find answers to these questions, reclaim a sense of wonder and magic in the world, and explore the place that fairy tales hold in modern culture.
Open to all artists ages 18 and older.
Theme/Description: fairy tales, whimsy, wonder, magic, joy.
