Harvard ARTS FIRST Festival

Harvard University's annual ARTS FIRST Festival is a celebration of artmaking by members of the Harvard community from Thursday, April 28 through Sunday, May 1. Produced by the Office for the Arts at Harvard, audiences can experience the creativity of students, staff, faculty, alumni and affiliates, presented in spaces on campus and outdoors around Cambridge. Join the four-day festival for live events and dynamic presentations of music, dance, theater, film, visual arts and many other innovative arts–plus a special Harvard Arts Medal ceremony with musician Rubén Blades (LL.M. ‘85). ARTS FIRST includes onsite and virtual programming, with many events livestreamed at HarvardArts on YouTube.
