The Eyrie Festival is the culminating celebration of the Blackbird Creative Lab community, produced by Eighth Blackbird as part of its 18-month residency at the Athenaeum.
Eyrie brings together 50+ professional artists—performers and composers who have taken part in the Lab since its founding in 2017–alongside faculty and special guests. The ethos of the festival is a gathering of professional artists who share a Lab connection. Programming highlights both works first developed during the Lab and major new projects and commissions that have emerged since, reflecting the Lab’s impact over the past decade.
