The 2022 Oakland Festival of Immersive Arts celebrated Oakland's communities, cultures, history and art with a multi-weekend event featuring artists and projects from the Bay Area and beyond.
“Immersive art is a term that carries specific cultural associations for audiences at present. With so many digitally projected attractions now using the word in the title, varying vastly in quality, you’re forgiven if your first thought is one of those experiences. The nonprofit Immersive Arts Alliance has helped many in the Bay Area see beyond those kinds of pop experiences with their emphasis on site-specific, community-generated art... the work can be truly engulfing.”
