The IMPACT Performance Festival 2022 is taking place in-person at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) Galleries, located at 33 E. Washington Street on Saturday, March 5, from 6:00 to 10:00 pm, and Sunday, March 6, from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. This festival showcases the culminating projects of MFA, BFA, and Post-Baccalaureate Certificate students from SAIC, who will activate multiple spaces within the gallery to present live performances.
This is the first time that the festival will take place inside the SAIC Galleries, surrounded by the work of other artists participating in the first of two Graduate Exhibitions of the spring 2022 season. This special moment provides an extraordinary opportunity for the IMPACT 2022 artists to explore the potential of architecture and showcase a deeper and more dynamic relationship with the SAIC Galleries.
This year, participating artists include aussie b, Ále Campos, Camille Casemier, Leila Ghasempor, Paige Naylor, Jade Ortega White, Briseis Schreibman, Polina Shklovskaya, and Jonas Sun.
We welcome you to share this space with us as we witness these artists’ final projects of their SAIC careers.
The festival is free and open to the public. Registration is required. To book an appointment, please visit saicscheduling.as.me/IMPACT
