Build Community: Build Creatively: Build Fest
BuildFest marks the third year of the Bethel Woods Art & Architecture Festival and begins a multi-year project to merge digital and analog fabrication pedagogies with creative notions of function and play, focusing on flexibility and adaptation.
We are currently seeking proposals for creative art installations that focus on BUILDing, not as a noun but as a verb, and suggest potential FESTivities for camping activations.

Submission Deadline: March 29
Selection Notification: April 19
