Explore the risks and rewards of becoming non-religious by following the story of well-known Quaker minister and Indiana author Jim Mulholland. He will share his journey from evangelical to progressive to non-religious. A discussion about the journey out of religion will follow, along with audience Q&A.

What's your risk-tolerance? Find out by taking an online survey during September and October. Survey results will be emailed to you, along with suggestions for trying out new and adventurous things. Complete the experience by joining the community at a festival event where you can reflect on how "fear becomes curiosity" and "liabilities become assets." A mural of the community's collective risks will be on display.

Visit well-known (but secret) destinations where you will take mental, emotional, or physical risks. Get excited about exploring Indy, cross perceived boundaries, and use your "passport" to try out new destinations and activities. Redeem completed passports for food and beverage at a post-Festival event in December.

Why do visual artists choose risky subject matter? Can their work be viewed through the lens of traditional art-making? This program explores these questions and illuminates the humor underlying both art-making and sex. The co-curated exhibit includes works by two emerging artists ("The Makeout Project" by Jedediah Johnson and "Dirty Mouth" by Kyle Herrington) alongside works from the Kinsey collection.
