We welcome the cancer survivor community, including family members of someone who has survived cancer, who is currently being treated, or who has passed away from it to join us in the lower meadow for a healing sound ceremony with the artist.

Josh and Matt want to make a show that explores the theatrical and social potential of treadmills. But here’s the hitch: All of their work developing this show has to occur ON motorized treadmills. For 18 hours over Fusebox weekend, they’ll never stop moving along America’s favorite instruments of atonement. Drop by The Museum of Human Achievement to see what they’re up to, participate in the creative process, and maybe bring them a little snack?

Do not miss out on these performances by The Illustrious Blacks and Joseph Keckler, presented in conjunction with Fusebox Festival 2024.

For this month’s HOST: Fusebox program we are delighted to present a multimedia performance with artist Jim Findlay and guest collaborators Jim Dawson and Cyrus Moshrefi.

This performance will occupy all floors of the Jones Center, with Lubaina Himid’s work as a stage. The audience is invited to be immersed by both works, traveling up and culminating at the Rooftop, followed by a reception.

Hosted annually in Austin, The Future Front Festival puts Texas women and LGBTQ+ artists at the front of their line-ups. Everybody welcome.

Mariposa Relámpago is the artist’s largest sound-healing sculpture. At the sound bath, the artist and sound healers will play the gongs to active the work and create an immersive soundscape, restoring calm and balance to those in attendance.

Celebrate the biggest Supermoon of the year with a night of themed vendors, artmaking, and a special performance by multidisciplinary artist Jiabao Li.
