Description

This year, Lotus celebrates 30 years of transformative music and arts experiences, hard work, and life-long human connections. In honor of the occasion, Lotus has developed the Lotus@30 project.

Engage in the Lotus@30 Project by attending the upcoming Lotus@30 Screening Party.

The event will begin with a screening of rarely-seen footage pulled from the Bloomington Community Access Television Services (CATS) archive including festival footage of fan-favorite artists, old festival venues, and footage from the early years of Lotus Blossoms. 

Afterward, attendees will have an opportunity to engage with one another, share stories, enjoy light snacks, and record their memories in StoryCorps-like fashion for the Lotus archive.

Another way for community members to engage with the Lotus@30 Project is to sign up for a Lotus@30 Fireside Chat Focus Group. During these sessions, participants will have a chance to help expand Lotus institutional memory, hear from and talk with other Lotus citizens, and enrich their sense of the “Lotus experience.”  

More information about the Lotus@30 Fireside Chat Focus Groups and how to register can be found at lotusfest.org/2024/l/
