Impulse Theatre’s Peek Fest is an annual festival for emerging arts workers in Victoria running November 4th to 10th, 2019. The festival offers an exciting new look at work-in-development from some of the province’s most innovative creators and contributes to the development and growth of local artists through showcases, workshops, and a curated visual arts gallery.
