FESTIVAL FEATURE
The Community Garden
A first of its kind interactive art experience debuts at Connect Beyond Festival this May!
Created in partnership with Asheville-based immersive media creators, Impractical Instruments, and the distributed team of imagineers at Brain Collision, and using 20 years of insight after creating some of the nation’s most engaging experiences at Meow Wolf and Epic Games, comes a venue-wide art installation.
Throughout the festival weekend, attendees will have a chance to explore The Community Garden, art that reimagines community services as elements of a living garden. Participants are invited to explore how we nurture a just and equitable community interacting with the art.
