Tea with 'ZaZa' August 14 Click here for Story The Guys by Anne Nelson, September 11 & 12 2010 Each year in a week long festival that pairs a specific artistic discipline with a specific theme, The Artist's Path explores the unique role of artists in our communities and their capacity to create positive change- all while providing economic opportunity for artists, fostering civil discourse, and entertaining our audiences. The Inaugural Event The Playwright's Response through Conflict and Social Crisis April 7-17, 2011 Composer Leonard Bernstein wrote, "It is the artists of the world, the feelers and the thinkers, who will ultimately save us; who can articulate, educate, defy, insist, sing, and shout the big dreams." Our Vision The Artist's Path will become a regional, national leader in the arts, building bridges between cultures, exploring the source of artistic inspiration, discovering the diversity within the artistic communities of the world, all while examining the role of the artist in society and how he or she effects change. The purpose of this event in Prescott, AZ is to explore how artists respond to a world in conflict and social crisis through the discipline of Playwriting. It is hoped in some small way that the event will also serve as a remembrance of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and the days following. Arizona playwrights are invited to present New Works in Playwriting addressing the above theme. A specially selected jury will evaluate the plays. The winning entry will receive a cash prize and be staged at the following year's event. In its inaugural year The Artist's Path plans to produce three previously published plays and showcase artists in other disciplines. Ensuing years will see the addition of other disciplines in the arts --Poetry, Music, Film, Visual Arts, Dance, Photography, and the Humanities--with a different theme each year. A division for artists in secondary schools is also planned with master classes for the students.
