THANKS FOR BREAKING GROUND WITH LEAF!“They say the creation of a thousand forests lies in a single acorn. One word, one

choice, one gesture no matter how seemingly small has the power to transform this world for the better. For the 48th LEAF Festival, we’ve scoured the globe to select

artists who are architects of positive change using the strength & resilience of their creative expression to uplift our communities. Artists who defy expectation and

value the importance of planting deep roots as much as reaching for the stars. As LEAF Community Arts approaches a new phase in its legacy with the creation of a year round Global Arts Center, we welcome one & all to gather and celebrate this

new inspiring chapter in our journey together. Bring your hopes, your dreams, your families, and an open heart for an unforgettable world culture celebration.”

~ Ehren Cruz, LEAF Performing Arts Director
