CELEBRATING TWENTY FIVE YEARS
Echoes of the Future
October 9, 2025
National Sawdust
Echoes of the Future is more than an anniversary — it’s a living archive, a homecoming (Brooklyn in the house!), and a collective invocation of what’s to come. For 25 years, Hi-ARTS has championed visionary artists whose voices are too often excluded from the American art and theatrical canon. Echoes of the Future is a celebration of our legacy and our future. Echoes of the Future is a reflection of our past, a celebration of our present, and a collective call for what's to come.
We take pride in nurturing and providing artists of the global majority with time, space, and resources to create — and we’ve been doing it for twenty five years. Hi-ARTS Understands the Culture. Hi-ARTS Creates the Culture. Hi-ARTS is the Culture.
Echos of the Future isn’t just a party. We will also celebrate the hard work and remarkable achievements of our artists and alumni, and community! This year we are the hard work of three prolific artists in the New York City creative ecosystem. Who is that brilliant creative who deserves their flowers? Nominate them today.
