Right now there’s a lot to be desperate about… climate change, unhinged political leaders, getting old, working too much, not working enough, extremists of all stripes, the list goes on.

What skills and training do we need to survive in this world, and who can teach us?

Artists are the ultimate survivalists, continuing through the leanest of times and thriving in the extremes of great opportunity or disaster.

Over two days Arts House will transform into an urban survival camp, where specialist know-it-all artists and creative camp-leaders will share their passion and expert skills in a unique performance-lecture series.

From the practical to the emotional, from the physical to the conceptual, you’ll come away with new information and strategies on how to thrive and survive – or at least have a laugh and make some new friends – in these trying times.  Tickets include the survival skills of four artists!
