FORM features music — this year’s includes Solange Knowles as the headliner. Art is also a huge part of the event. Its website describes FORM as a weekend of creative immersion, adventure and retreat.

Jeff Stein, co-president of the Cosanti Foundation who first came to Arcosanti in 1975 to train with Soleri, and the festival’s co-founder Zach Tetreault, of the band Hundred Waters, talked about the event.
