ARTifacts is a visual arts initiative by The Dire Theatre Company that aims to give artists with unique and relevant works, and who would otherwise not have the opportunity, a space to display and sell their work. The works must exist as artifacts, that is, they must be physical and enduring; whereas a performance exists only in the present, a sculpture, painting, sketch, or collage, exists in to the future.

2022 is the year of the wolf and we are going to paint the town RED.

The Dire is coming back strong in 2022 with some original works as well as facilitating some of the regions great indie artists. Check out what we have in store for January and stay tuned for updates because there is so much more to come!
