Multi-day event: December 11 – 14, 2025
INVERSE 2025 is a four-day performance art festival in Bentonville, Arkansas. Employing liveness, experimentation, and radical approaches to the important issues of our moment, the festival seeks artists and projects who are in constant interrogation of material, form, and gesture to offer new ideas and perspectives to how we experience the world.
The INVERSE Performance Art Festival, taking place December 11–14, 2025, marks ten years of INVERSE. INVERSE began in 2015 in Northwest Arkansas, with its first festival in 2016. This December marks ten years and ten festivals.
INVERSE continues to offer an open call for proposals to broaden the network of artists making and performing in Northwest Arkansas. We welcome proposals no matter your experience or practice.
We encourage artists from across forms to submit proposals for performance.See application for full details. (https://inverseperformanceartfestival.com/2025-open-call)
