Faith Middleton Show: International Festival Of Arts & Ideas

It is one of the best events in the region:  The International Festival of Arts & Ideas in New Haven, June 12-26.  The festival, now celebrating its 15th year, features performances from across the country and around the world - dance, music, theater, art installations, and conversations on many interesting subjects.  And this year there are tours - A Foodie Tour, A New Haven Walking Tour, and a Bike Tour.

There are frequent shuttles from venue to venue, though many events are in walking distance of one another.  

You can see the full list of events at artidea.org

Festival Director, Mary Lou Aleskie, talks about some of the highlights, including the appearance of one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, Philip Glass.
