In the few situations where we offer you the choice to submit a limited subset of your information to be distributed more broadly, for example for the purposes of marketing, communications, or artistic networking, the choice is strictly optional and not required for the participation in the activities of the association or the festival.

You can choose to receive a newsletter through the form on the festival website. To do this we need your email address and your consent to be contacted by checking the box to agree to receive communications from Aavistus Festival.
