20th Anniversary of VISION Festival

This year marks the Twentieth Anniversary of the Vision Festival. To celebrate this milestone Arts for Art (AFA) plans 6 days that set the standard for creative FreeJazz music, dance, visual art and ideas, which embrace values that challenge and inform. This year AFA celebrates all VISION artists, in particular those iconic NY artists whose creative voices have helped build our reputation as the world's premier FreeJazz Festival. As well, Vision Festival acknowledges our longstanding relationship with Chicago's legendary AACM artists, as they celebrate their 50th Anniversary!
