JOIN US FOR WESTFEST 2023!

Join us April 27-30 for the 13th annual WestFest dance festival, featuring the work of 25 cutting-edge artists in two unique programs presented throughout Westbeth’s historic, storied spaces.

WestFest is a cutting edge, curated dance festival presenting established and emerging movement artists in the historic Westbeth Artists’ Residence in West Village, NYC. The festival includes two distinct programs: WestFest Top Floor and All Over Westbeth.

WestFest 2023 is produced under the auspices of the Westbeth Artists’ Residents Council. Westbeth’s programming is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Westbeth is supported in part by an American Rescue Plan Act grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support general operating expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
