The First Person Festival of Memoir and Documentary Art is our biggest event of the year and the only festival in the world dedicated to memoir and documentary art! We promise to feed your soul and your stomach, entertain and engage your spirit, and take you beyond the borders of your own life experience. Artists from multiple genres - musicians, filmmakers, authors, fine artists and more - serve as your guides.

The 2010 First Person Festival of Memoir and Documentary Art will take place in the fall at the Painted Bride Arts Center. Visit our page throughout the year for updates on the 2010 schedule.
