About

Apply to participate in INTERSECTIONS 2014.

Imagine: Art that encourages compassionate listening and provocative questioning. The best professional, emerging, community and student artists from DC and beyond. Theaters filled with diverse, dynamic audiences.  Conversations over a glass of wine in the café with a someone new who has just had the same experience as you. Chances to perform, discuss, party!   All this and more awaits you at the INTERSECTIONS Festival at the Atlas from February 21 - March 8, 2014.
 
Celebrating its fifth year in 2014, this unique all-arts festival brings together more than 100 performing groups over ten days to offer music, theatre, dance, film and spoken word that captures a kaleidoscope of perspectives on our ever-evolving community and world.  All five of our performances spaces will be alive with world premieres and innovative collaborations among artists of all ages, races, cultures and art forms.  
 
From Family Saturdays featuring performances and events for children to late-night parties and jazz jam sessions, INTERSECTIONS seeks to connect the broadest possible audience with the most exciting new ways of making community-inspiring art.  We invite you to join us -- to be delighted, energized and maybe just a little transformed.
