So what is Carnival of the Bold?
It's a festival and movement of social change through the arts. And it's a coming together of artists and other leaders who drive important issues of our time - to create deeper engagement around social causes.
From issues in sustainability, poverty, justice, peace, human rights, equality, education, well-being, Carnival of the Bold aim inspire and awaken greater public consciousness. It is interdisciplinary and inclusive of all artists - theatre, music, film, street performance, visual arts, you name it.

Why?
Artists bring interesting and unique perspectives to the mix, and engage audiences in new and different ways. They can strongly influence the way the world frames or feels about the salient issues; a power not fully harnessed, we think.

How?
Carnival of the Bold is first and foremost a spirit or philosophy that the arts can be a powerful enabling force for social change. It calls on artists to take leadership. And it calls on the world to participate. Taking shape through socially themed arts events, exhibitions, forums, films and visual arts, we aspire to bring social issues into the mainstream agenda, raise public consciousness and shine new light on what it means to live with greater humanity.

Through Carnival of the Bold, together - whether an individual, not-for-profit, government or conscious business - we aspire to find new ways, new ideas and new narratives that will shape our world and future.

So we invite you to join us in a celebration of the arts for a better world.
