The 33rd Annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival

Conversations in Bloom: A Symposium on Arts, Community, and Memory
September 30 – October 1
Lotus is hosting a series of conversations about the crucial role that the arts play in building our communities and identities. We invite participants to consider how the arts help us make sense of the world around us, connect individual and collective experience, and understand the communities we share.
