2024 Daybreak Workshops
We are trying to build a festival experience different than many others. It is our goal that the Artisans, Musicians, Facilities and Fans feel stronger and more beautiful after the event than when they arrived. In short we want to SUSTAIN the festival community.
Our goal is to keep the Sustain Art & Music Festival smaller and shorter than most festivals. The hope is that this will help ensure it is a restorative experience. We realize many folks will want to sleep in Saturday morning but we are hopeful most will want to get up and engage with our festival family. Please consider registering for at least one workshop experience. Learn a new skill or if you’re experienced, help our facilitators teach others, either way we know your energy will add to everyone’s festival experience.
Registrations are open and can be accessed within the “Sustain Community” within Mighty Networks. Each ticket holder received an email that invites them to join our private online community. Join this community and RSVP for our Daybreak Workshops, chat with festival friends and more.
