CURATOR’S MESSAGE
“As if of its own free will, a bit of wood and rag becomes. An inanimate object wakes to life in the gifted hands of an artful storyteller. We are drawn in, held rapt and spellbound by the effortless magic of transformation. We believe.

“An equally miraculous transformation launches a festival. Questing for artists, hustling a budget, and trumpeting to the universe that it shall be, a community emerges; a gently woven net of dedicated, gracious souls.

“To our festival community: the artists, sponsors, volunteers, and audience. You each play a part to bring this special and universal art form to life for magical ten days. Thank you! It’s Alive! On the Inside!”

- Xstine Cook
