SPECTRAL
performance art festival and artist market open call
October 21st-22nd, 2023
The SPECTRAL Performance Art Festival invites artists and vendors to explore the mysteries, phantasms, and incorporeal inspirations that haunt us. As we navigate a world devoid of meaning, how can we meet that void and give shape to emptiness? What ghosts and specters emerge from the darkness, flickering at us from the shadows, directing us toward memory, dream, and phan-tasy? SPECTRAL presents performances that blur the boundaries between the spiritual and the mundane, embracing the ethereal presence of ghosts that shape and warp our perceptions. Join us on October 21st and 22nd at Rhizome DC for a celebration of thought-provoking performance art that transcends conventional boundaries. Audience members can immerse themselves in captivating performances while browsing through a diverse range of products and offerings, including handcrafted art pieces, apparel, food, and interactive workshops.
Be a part of the SPECTRAL Performance Art Festival! Unravel the mysteries that lie beyond the surface as we navigate the intricate interplay between the seen and the unseen, and leave with unique pieces from local DMV artists--all in time for Halloween!
