Located in New Haven, the International Festival of Arts & Ideas unites world-class artists, thinkers, and leaders, celebrating community and advancing economic growth. Founded in 1996 by Anne Calabresi, Jean Handley, and Roslyn Meyer, it draws inspiration from Europe's great festivals, fostering international understanding and social cohesion. Our mission is to host a high-quality festival that showcases New Haven as a premier arts destination, enriching lives and embracing diverse ideas and cultures. We envision a thriving New Haven where the festival enriches lives and unites people, helping them understand their interconnected futures. Our values of excellence, collaboration, diversity, and inclusiveness guide us. We respect the Quinnipiac lands, integrating contemporary Native arts and ideas into our vibrant cultural tapestry. Join us in New Haven to experience the convergence of art and ideas, where creativity sparks joy and fosters a brighter, inclusive future.
