“The Vision Festival is the best time to hear everybody and meet everyone. This music may be uncompromising, but the vibe couldn't be friendlier." – Francis Davis, Atlantic Monthly “10th anniversary of a miracle"... Steve Dalachinsky
After one year it was a sensation. At five years it was a tradition. Now, ten years later, Arts for Art, Inc. is proud to announce the tenth year of the world’s foremost avantJazz festival.
We are proud to say that the Vision Festival is the most successful artist organized annual festival in the history of jazz. While jazz musicians have organized their own performance opportunities since the 1960s, no single event has matched the ongoing and building success of Vision, which celebrate its tenth year. To commemorate our tenth year, the Festival boasts one of the most formidable line-ups in its history. Our new venue at Clemente Soto Velez features two theaters, two art galleries and a café for a highly warm atmosphere. In addition, the festival will kick off with a special Park on February 12.
