Donate to Support Love the Sun Art and Music Festival 2026
Our Love the Sun organizing partner Heal AuRT has organized a fundraiser which is needed to cover the costs of the festival and keep it a no paywall event open to community while supporting the arts and artists to continue creating. All contributions will support the artists, art supplies, and organizing efforts necessary to make Love the Sun possible. We are aiming to raise an additional $7,615.

Become a Sponsor of the Cresset Center
We depend on sponsorships and community support to make our festivals possible and accessible (no paywalls). We value getting to know who we are partnering with and being able to represent small businesses that we love. Sponsorship goes directly towards necessary hosting amenities; honorariums for performing artists, workshop hosts and speakers; promoting and supporting agriculture, art, and ecology; and the work necessary to create these events. In 2026 we anticipate two key seasonal festivals:
“Love the Sun” Art & Music Festival (June 20th & 21st):
Celebrates the summer solstice and the inspiring power of this farm sanctuary, catalyzing creativity through workshops and live performances (music, movement, spoken word). We foster cultural exchange and connection between local and visiting artists. The art fair builds relationships and provides economic opportunities for artists. This year with increased promotion we are aiming for 250 attendants up from approximately 50 people in 2025.
“Love the Land” Harvest Festival (September 26th):
Promotes agricultural skills & knowledge, honors the heritage of the region and looks towards the future. Our hay-bale bucking competition and hands-on ecological, artistic, educational and playful activities make this a family friendly harvest festival of fun. We anticipate attendance increasing to around 100 people up from approximately 50 people in 2025.
