At REST Fest, we believe our rest is revolutionary. We practice RESTiprocity, embracing solidarity over charity because, ultimately, all we have is each other. Our mission is to harness the transformative power of rest as a catalyst for social change. Through immersive experiences, live performances, and inclusive workshops, we empower individuals to explore their creative potential and reimagine new futures. Our mission, "We won't rest until everyone can rest," embodies our commitment to equity and social justice.

​

Our vision at REST Fest is to build a world where art is a powerful tool for social transformation and rest is recognized as a fundamental human right. We envision a future where individuals from diverse backgrounds come together to celebrate creativity, diversity, and resilience. By harnessing the power of art and community, we aim to ignite dialogue on pressing social issues, foster a sense of belonging and empowerment, and inspire individuals to become agents of positive change in their communities and beyond.
