Pivot Arts has announced its 3rd annual PIVOT ARTS FESTIVAL, featuring dozens of innovative performances and multi-disciplinary works throughout Chicago's Uptown and Edgewater neighborhoods from May 28 - June 7, 2015.

Pivot Arts and Loyola University's Department of Fine and Performing Arts (DFPA) continue their partnership with a unique Performing Arts Incubator Program for artists, which includes mentorships for Loyola undergraduates throughout January and February 2015. The program provides companies and individual artists time and space to develop work that is innovative and often blurs the boundaries between music, dance, theater and other disciplines. Students will work alongside professional artists on each project as performers, assistant directors, dramaturgs and production managers. Scroll down for a sneak peek!
