KuklaFest Puppetry Conference
In 1945, Burr Tillstrom introduced the art of puppetry to OxBow - a painting school and summer retreat nestled in the dunes along Lake Michigan. Over the next 35 years, Burr attracted puppeteers from around the country to meet there.
In 2019, Hystopolis Productions in cooperation with OxBow School of Art and Artists' Residency welcomed puppeteers back to Saugatuck, Michigan for the inaugural KuklaFest, a conference and retreat for artists to share their work and sharpen their skills. The event was a resounding success and many who attended signed up to attend the 2020 conference, before it was canceled due to the pandemic.
In 2021 we welcomed a broader audience and explored new territory with an all virtual experience. We pulled in experts to produce a live interactive event at Grand Valley State University that was met with great praise.
