Art With Me strives to harness the power of the creative arts to spark positive impactful change inside and out. Founded by David Graziano in Tulum, Mexico as a not for profit organisation in 2018 and with past editions in Las Vegas and Turkey, it is renowned for its vital and varied celebration of creativity, sustainability, and community with the whole event built around the six core pillars of art, dance, breathe, eat, play, and care. It's a place to connect with nature, with each other, with music, art and wellness with likeminded people.
Musically there is much to look forward to once more with full stage experience partners All Day I Dream and Soundtuary and headlines sets form first wave names such as legendary UK electronic duo Underworld, French pair Polo & Pan, a special DJ set from US rapper and singer Channel Tres, organic and uplifting deep house from Lee Burridge presents All Day I Dream, world rhythms and magical melodies from the breakout sensation that is LP Giobbi, stylish house from Anthony Middleton aka one half of the esteemed Audiofly, multi-genre fusions from the classy Francesca Lombardo plus more from Jan Blomqvist, Apache, Elephant Heart, Gavlak, Isaiah Martin, Matt Caines, and Murmusica Ensemble.
