The Englert TheatreStop/Time Festival is a two-day, multi-venue, multi-artist spring festival produced by Hancher Auditorium and devoted to innovation and independence in contemporary music and the arts.
Presented in spaces throughout downtown Iowa City and across the University of Iowa campus, the festival highlights the region’s century-long tradition of creative experimentation. Musicians will present work spanning psych, jazz, creative music, contemporary classical, avant-garde performance, alternative folk, ambient, noise, and electronic sound. Alongside them, writers and interdisciplinary artists will offer readings, activations, and collaborations that extend the conversation across art forms.
