Frequency is a new biennial festival of light, sound, and digital culture hosted in and around the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. This 4-night downtown takeover activates the museum, neighboring gardens and plazas with installations of site-responsive work, live performances, interactive technologies, and immersive experiences from local and international artists.

Frequency is a mostly free event. While all outdoor installations can be visited at no cost, there is a small entrance fee to the MAH, where some indoor artworks and programs are hosted. This event is co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute.
