Samavesha presents the annual FREE admission multidisciplinary performing arts festival located at the Stream Trail of Redwood Regional Park in Oakland, California

Shuttle Bus Depot and Parking Lot at Merritt College
12500 Campus Drive, Oakland, CA 94619

Experience participatory art that is in relationship with nature,
and shows the creative process of the artists.

Stroll along the mile-long Stream Trail of Redwood Regional Park and experience more than 200 artists and performers tucked among the meadows, redwoods and oaks in this family, bicycle and dog friendly festival.
Experience art in nature and delve into the nature of art in 12 Theme Areas featuring music, dance, sculpture, painting, martial arts, poetry, body painting, circus arts, theater, visual arts, storytelling, arts & crafts and kids events.

Bring a picnic lunch! There will be two food tracks outside the trail but NO vendors, or items for sale in the festival.

While no admission is charged for the festival, the Redwood Regional Park parking has a $5 fee, it is very limited and will fill up by the crew and volunteers early Sunday morning. For that reason this year there will be a shuttle bus running throughout the day from nearby Merritt College. Park there and begin your adventure early with an entertaining ten minute ride to the entrance of the festival. While we are planning to have enough capacity to handle the expected crowd, the shuttle capacity is limited so we highly recommend to buy your ticket now! http://artinnaturefestival2012.eventbrite.com

We invite you to make a donation so that the festival can be sustainable and free.

The festival title reflects two distinct aims:
Art in Nature: performing different expression of art in nature.
The Nature of Art: revealing the artists’ process, techniques, and tools.

The festival is guided by the principle that all art forms originate from a universal human characteristic—creativity. Our festival conveys this universality by revealing the creative process in a variety of art forms, and also by giving festivalgoers access to their own creativity through many participatory activities and performances.

Founder and Artistic Director Laura Inserra is an Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist with over 15 years’ experience writing and performing music for theater, dance, art exhibits, and film. In 2007, Inserra founded Samavesha. In addition to the Art in Nature: The Nature of Art Festival, Samavesha produces the annual Cave Concerts in the Marin Headlands, the Musical Journeys series in tea houses, and a Community Program located at schools, camps, health care facilities, community centers and parks.
