• IMMERSE will return in 2023.  “As we approach the 2022-2023 season, Creative City Project is taking a moment to reflect on the last decade of innovative, creative, and immersive experiences,” says Evans.  “As we navigate the 2022-2023 season, the event known as IMMERSE will be put on pause and brought back during our 2023-2024 season, in order to make room for Airplay in 2022.  We look forward to collaborating with existing and new community partners throughout our 2022-2023 season and look forward to spending a year envisioning how we can serve our community through new programming while producing IMMERSE 2023 and beyond.”
