During the 2026 FORM Festival, Exposure NY event designer and FORM co-founder Kim Swift curated the festival’s Art & Activities Program, bringing together art, music, and community in the Arizona desert. Set against the striking architectural town of Arcosanti, the program was designed to encourage participation, creating an environment where creativity and human connection extended beyond the musical performances.
Throughout the festival, attendees were invited to engage with their surroundings through a series of immersive experiences, including interactive art installations, artist-led workshops, sound baths, yoga, and meditation. The inspiration came from Arcosanti’s acrology and its surrounding desert landscape; the programming emphasized the relationship between art, environment, and community. Each experience offered guests an opportunity to participate rather than simply observe, reinforcing the festival’s intimate and collaborative atmosphere.
Alongside performances by Lorde, Blood Orange, Geese, and Adrianne Lenker. Swift’s Art & Activities Program contributed to FORM’s distinctive approach to the traditional music festival. By bringing together artistic expression, mindfulness, and shared experiences. The program reflected FORM’s commitment to creating meaningful connections between its attendees and the environment around them.
