Fusebox Festival 2026

April 15–19, 2026

The first edition of our newly reimagined biennial will spring to life at sites & venues across Austin—from intimate galleries and theaters to large-scale projects in parking garages, baseball fields, the sides of buildings, and strange empty lots. It’s a celebration of Austin’s creative community and a chance to welcome artists from around the world into conversation with this place.

The festival brings together a wide range of live performances, installations, conversations, workshops, and gatherings. Artists from across disciplines—visual art, film, theater, dance, music, writing, design, and food—come together to share work and spark dialogue. Festival lineup coming soon in the new year!
