Mushroom City Art Festival

Into the Beloved Rhizome

Since 2013 Mushroom City Art Festival had brought community together for forays, nature art walks, outdoor art installations, immersive sound experiences, talks, children’s art making activities, and more! We are returning this year to bring back our full festival! This year’s theme, “Into the Beloved Rhizome” is inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision of the Beloved Community. We envision the Beloved Rhizome as a site to foster ecological and mycological education within a strong social network. We equally imagine how an economy of care and mutual aid might also be expressed at our festival and model the mycorrhizal network known as the wood wide web where trees communicate and share resources with each other beneath the forest floor. Our vision is to connect diverse community together for a magical, educational, all-ages event that will help foster future community gatherings, workshops, and resource sharing networks. Our vision is to support our community and the larger living world! This is a space to imagine, connect, learn, and create!
