Description:
The UM Circus Club is excited to bring you The UM Living Art Festival: Connecting Community in COVID!

As Missoula's first-ever Living Art Festival, this specially designed event will provide a COVID-safe experience for attendees and performers alike, with dozens of acts spread out across the festival and a dedicated COVID safety team present throughout.
So come enjoy a diversity of incredible and unique live arts performances, free refreshments, and help bring our community closer together in this difficult time of distance and isolation.

Tickets:
A suggested donation of $5 per person to enter the event is greatly appreciated, but make sure you save your support for our performers! In Living Art Festivals, it is customary to tip performers as you wander around the festival and experience each act- and what a great way to support your local artists, students, and community members after such a year of hardship!

COVID Safety Policies:
1) Do not attend if you are feeling sick or under the weather.
2) We will be monitoring attendees and may need to briefly limit capacity at times to keep things safe for everyone.
3) Social distancing is required at ALL times. Follow all signage and traffic flow directions.
4) Masks are required at ALL times. You may move your mask down while eating as you walk around the event space, but it must be worn properly at ALL times you are not directly eating or drinking.

Festival Tips and Policies:
1) There is no seating at this event- it is a walk-through festival sprawling across the Oval. Please do not bring your own chairs. However, if you have accessibility needs please reach out in advance and our team will be happy to assist!
2) There will be many acts throughout the festival, and it is customary to tip whichever acts you appreciate. So, we are proud to bring you Touchless Tipping! QR codes for the Festival's Venmo account will be displayed at each act, and we encourage you to use this option rather than cash, if possible. Feel free to add a note when you donate to share your thoughts on the act- we'd love to hear from you!
*Attendees who make five or more donations to different acts during the festival will automatically be entered into a raffle to win one of our beautiful Living Art Festival cloth masks.
3) Photos- taking photos at the festival is allowed, but if you would like to take photos of performers, please be sure to tip them! And use the #UMLivingArtFestival hashtag for any photos you post online.
