Arts for Art Vision Festival 30

June 23–28, 2026

Arts for Art is a NYC-based non-profit founded in 1996, focused on promoting and advancing multicultural improvised arts and home to the Vision Festival, an annual internationally-acclaimed festival. The Vision Festival aims to shine a light on Black and Multicultural Creative Improvised Music & Arts and prioritize diversity and inclusion, the artist as visionary, and Free Jazz as a multi-genre expression of community, hope, and justice.

This year, Vision Festival honors contemporary Free Jazz artist Joe Morris with a Lifetime Achievement award and will feature many other multi-disciplinary artists integral to the Free Jazz scene.

Producers

Divine Riot is a collective of actors dedicated to using theater, film, and community outreach to empower the artist within us all. (www.divineriot.org | @adivineriot)

Healing TREE (Trauma Resources, Education & Entertainment) advocates healing from abuse and trauma rather than coping with the symptoms, in order to transform lives and, ultimately, society. We achieve this by providing trauma-focused resources and education and by producing and partnering with relevant film, television, and theatre, empowering the social change necessary to create a healing movement.
