Leadership Circles get the highest level of access, with inside tracks on developing projects, concierge-level curation, and intimate events with tastemakers. There’s a Circle for everyone – pick your passion!

COMMISSIONING CIRCLE

Includes a Commissioning Curation Package for the next year’s festival.
