Festival Cancellation

Dear Artists,
 
We truly appreciate and thank you for your support and all the time and effort you put in to preparing for the TURN UP Multimedia Festival, but we have decided to cancel the in-person multimedia concerts and artists close-up series due to the rapidly evolving situation with COVID-19.
 
We are sorry to make these changes and we apologize for the inconvenience. There are a lot of unknowns regarding what we are dealing with, and our team and I are trying to reduce the risks, protect our participants, attendees, and also make sure this communication and decision reaches you as soon as possible to reduce the impact of changing your travel plans.
 
Art has no limitations, and at this difficult time, we don’t want to just give up! This year, TURN UP Multimedia Festival’s goal will change to be a more uplifting celebration of art and technology. We want to TURN UP our voice as artists to make a statement in these potentially impossible circumstances.
 
We have decided to do a fully distributed/remote multimedia concert, which will be broadcast on Friday 3/27 at 7:30 pm MST. Our team and I are working hard to produce an exceptional distributed multimedia show. We wish to create a special and hopeful substitute in the given situation. TURN UP coordinators will be in touch with you soon to discuss possible options regarding programming or future programming of your work. Please stay tuned and continue to support us as we build our art and technology community.
 
With our best regards,
 
Yuanyuan (Kay) HE and the TURN UP Team
