Win Tickets to FEST25 with House of Paper

This year at FEST25, House of Paper is granting select tickets to those driven by what can’t be measured; making space for what doesn’t yet exist. You’ll know if it’s you.

Obscura, the theme of House of Paper’s FEST25 activation, is rooted in the process of bringing things from the shadows into light. Talks, performances and workshops will illuminate the relationships between patron and artist, money and culture, freedom and constraint, trust and dependence, commitment and eventual release. 

Apply for a chance at free tickets to FEST25. No resume or proof of work required. All you have to do is describe the place inside you where vision begins. Applications are open for 7 days.

Every applicant receives a personalized Obscura experience at FEST25, and select applicants receive free tickets to FEST25. Who should apply? 

• World-building musicians who stretch sound, story and spirit into new dimensions 

• Patrons with a curious desire to create culture, legacy and joy with their resources 

• Creative partners and cultural practitioners who elevate everything they touch

House of Paper is building new structures that reframe patronage and create experiments in music that move culture. 

— It’s a quiet conspiracy to liberate artists from algorithms, and re-anchor creation in trust, vision, and context.

We fund what can’t be measured, building a future where music serves meaning, not metrics. We look forward to hosting you.

Apply not to win, but to wonder. The ticket to FEST25 isn’t the prize. The act of revealing yourself is.

FEST25 is Aug 1-3 in Idyllwild, CA

See You in Brooklyn with Refraction 6/26

Refraction is back in Brooklyn for a night at one of NYC’s most legendary venues — Public Records, a sanctuary where sound, art, and intention collide.

In collaboration with Reown and powered by IRL, we present RESET: a full-venue takeover from 9PM to 2AM across three immersive sonic zones and a curated exhibition bridging digital culture and physical space.

This marks Refraction’s long-awaited return to Public Records — one of the most thoughtfully designed music venues in the world — every room tuned for presence.
