But, in the aftermath of the pandemic, as QR codes, digital apps and other remote mobile options became widespread for users, UAF decided that this year would be the ideal time to launch an accessible, comprehensive app with clear navigational logistics.Īvailable free for both iOS and Android users, the app puts everything that typically was available in the printed guide right at anyone’s fingertips. Several years ago, UAF had tested a mobile app for the festival but as Third Sun’s Jocelyn Kearl explains, it was ahead of its time, as festival patrons still preferred a printed program.
This includes 170 local, national and internationally known performers on six stages, a juried international short film program, a multidisciplinary Art Yard for kids, one of the largest Artists Marketplace in UAF history, the most extensive Literary Arts program since it was launched in 1995, along with a similar scale and scope in Urban Arts and the involvement of the City Library and The Leonardo museum on the civic campus. Certainly, the 31 hours in which the festival will be open to the public will be packed with performances and activities at every program venue. But, as Aimée Dunsmore, UAF’s executive director, explains, losing that fourth day does not mean the usual scale and scope of performers and venues has shrunk. The most significant one is that the event, which typically has been held over four days, will now just be three: Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
