Live Here Now is presented by A2SF in partnership with the Community Action Network and Superior Township Parks Department.

Live Here Now primarily takes place in areas of Ann Arbor and Eastern Washtenaw County, including communities with affordable housing. The program is the cornerstone of A2SF community engagement efforts, with the goal of breaking down barriers to participation for audiences.

 

A2SF champions performing arts, outdoor entertainment, and community spirit. In addition to a nearly four-week festival each June that attracts a diverse audience of over 80,000 people and offers over 200 concerts, art exhibitions, kids activities, spectacle, and film screenings, A2SF presents compelling experiences throughout the year on the campus of the University of Michigan and throughout Washtenaw County.

The mission of A2SF is to present a world-class celebration of arts and entertainment that enriches the cultural, economic, and social vitality of the region. A2SF was founded as a partnership between the University of Michigan and the City of Ann Arbor and produced its first season in 1984.
