Performance Infusions

Unplugged. Unexpected. Unforgettable.

Tucked among the towering pines and winding trails of Art in the Park, Emberlight’s Performance Infusion series offers audiences something rare: the chance to experience artists not from a distance, but up close.

Part performance, part conversation, part discovery, these free Saturday afternoon events invite audiences into the creative process itself — the stories, passions, traditions, and inspirations that drive artists to make their work. From live demonstrations and storytelling to moments of reflection and connection, no two Infusions are alike.

Held outdoors in the heart of Miners Memorial Heritage Park, Performance Infusions are designed to be relaxed, welcoming, and deeply human. Wander the Aurora Loop before or after the event, bring a friend, and spend an afternoon immersed in creativity beneath the Northwoods sky.

  • Location: Art in the Park at Miners Memorial Heritage Park
