A forward-thinking, artist-driven festival series like no other, Pique brings together diverse artistic communities to explore, experiment and connect.
Featuring groundbreaking performances, striking art installations, and thought-provoking presentations, Pique is a convergence of creativity and innovation that welcomes international artists and communities.
Taking place on International Women’s Day, the Pique spring edition spotlights women and gender nonconforming people who demonstrate artistic innovation and leadership, and kicks off the festival’s 5th season with its signature curatorial eclecticism by bringing together club futurism, intercultural ambient-electronic, jazz-hop vanguardism, vocal experimentation, leftfield pop music, drag brilliance, soft sculpture installation, and lots more.
Plus with artist talks and workshops exploring equitable music futures, Pique is a lab, an incubator, and a playground for audiences of all kinds. Admission is pay-what-you-can and all-ages.
