THE Hottest Event of the Summer

The Fire Arts Festival

Each July The Crucible’s Fire Arts Festival celebrates creativity through fire and light with a spectacular open-air exhibition of interactive fire art, performance and the largest collection of outdoor fire sculpture on the West Coast.

The 2007 Fire Festival attracted over 10,000 people from as far as England and Australia and featured The Fire Odyssey, an innovative production that blended industrial fire theatre with ballet, opera, hip hop, aerial dance and fire performance.

With an eye-popping assortment of cutting edge interactive fire sculpture and art from the all over the country and incredible fire, music and dance performances it's the event of the summer.

The Fire & Light Soirée

In conjunction with the Fire Arts Festival, on the Saturday closing the event, The Crucible throws its special benefit fundraiser: The Fire & Light Art Auction Soirée. Donors attending this fundraiser will enjoy fine wines and fiery appetizers, dine among flaming sculptures while aerial dancers perform overhead, bid on extraordinary art at the annual art auction, and enjoy reserved seating at final night of The Fire Arts Festival.

See you there!
