Dear AURAfam, Since the inaugural AURA in 2010, over 18,000 tickets were sold, over 175 musical acts performed, over 50 visual artists painted live and over 150 different staff members came together to make this all possible for YOU! After long deliberations with our team, we’ve decided that the event has far surpassed our goals and that we’re going to complete this chapter of our lives. Producing a show of this scale is no easy task for an independent production company, yet we still managed to pull off consistent growth each and every year since inception…. Pretty amazing! I’m extremely proud of the community we’ve built, the memories we’ve made and the vast history of art, music, friendships and families that we leave in our footprints. We’ve still got PLENTY of archives to release from the last seven years, including a complete video recap of the entire history of AURA Music & Arts Festival (coming soon!), so keep your eyes on our social networks! On behalf of Cameron, Matt, Destiny, Craig, CJ, Bianca and our entire staff, I thank you all for your dedicated support to our vision. There is no greater feeling than bringing people together and creating smiles around the common language of music, art, love and equality. With more love than can be put into words, THANK YOU!
