Sponsor the 2026 resilience festival

The 2025 Resilience Arts Festival was the Mud Theatre Project's premiere festival showcasing original work by system-impacted artists and writers. It was a smashing success, and we want you to be a part of bringing it back in 2026!

Last year, we were able to pay 38 artists, many of whom remain incarcerated. Producing their work for a public audience was momentous for us, the artists themselves, and their loved ones. The Resilience Arts Festival is a bridge between the inside and the outside, breaking down prison walls through the power of art and theatre.

In addition to bringing more new works to the stage, the 2026 Resilience Arts Festival will host the world premiere of 2 documentaries. 

Your sponsorship supports artists and brings live theatre and performance to system-impacted communities.
