RATHER GATHER
Rather Gather - New Non For Profit Independent Arts Festival
22-24 April 2016 – Waterford Area
What would you Rather Do? Rather than hanging out with artists and art aficionados in a field?
Rather Gather is a new gathering that aims at raising funds to promote arts in refugee camps.
​
In the process is creating a venue for artists that are open to multicultural interaction to come together and unite. Rather Gather promotes artists that are working or are inspired by a variety of cultures and Nationalities.
Rather Gather is taking things to another level. The group that organizes this festival has experience working in festivals such as Vantastival, Knockan Stockan, Spirit Of Folk, Sundown Gathering...
​
We thought that such gatherings are never enough. The small festivals offer a venue for people to connect without the need of wifi or mobile phones. Wellies and tents, art and food are facilitate the bond while creating a safe space for artists and non artists to come together; show their talents (and souls) and maybe imagine new collaborations.
The Main Stage is going to be dedicated to live music. There will be a DJ stage and a Jamming tent where artists will be broadcasted live and guests will be able to Jam along. A dome tent will welcome djs as well other kinds of performances such as Spoken Word, Story Telling, Theatre, Circus...
​
The events will be family friendly. Celebrating amongst other things togetherness, a full moon and international earth day!
​
If you are interested in being part of the magic by playing, exposing, performing or volunteering let us know at rrathergather@gmail.com we welcome every type of art!
