Our theme for the 8th annual Emerge festival in March 2019 is “Invention!”:

a celebration of human inventiveness to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci. Through hands-on activities, performances, workshops, exhibits, lectures, experiments, and interactive environments, Emerge will showcase the many twists along the road to innovation: unbridled imagination, exquisite observation, epic and mundane failure, surprise and serendipity. Honoring the legacy of Leonardo and all those devoted to exuberant, unconventional invention, Emerge 2019 shines light on uncommon futures for the common good.
