JAN 16 ~ 18
THE ARTS UPRISE

Community Partnership

Three Nights only! January 16 – 18, 2026

This is the second Art Uprise event at the MAT.


What is the Arts Uprise? 

It’s both a movement and an invitation – a movement to express what we feel about this moment in America, and an invitation to other creatives to make their own Uprise.

Uprise began with a meeting of mostly theater people at the Manitou Art Center. It began with a collective need, a collective rage, a collective drive to DO SOMETHING. The need to channel our creative expression to both keep ourselves sane and to provide some comfort to others who feel the same way.

One of the concerns at this initial meeting centered on the obvious question: “Aren’t we just preaching to the choir?”

Yes we are. But you know what? Our choir has been taking a beating these past six months, and they could use some comfort, some laughs, some insights and some entertainment.

We hope that this first Arts Uprise does that for you.
