The Great American Songbook

An Engaging Event with
Mary Anne Carter – Chairman National Endowment of the Arts

America’s 250th anniversary deserves more than a ceremony. Eden’s Freedom250 program brings a national tour of immersive dome performances and holographic concerts to iconic sites across the country, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Park Service. Held at national parks and landmark amphitheaters where music, landscape, and history converge, these concerts are more than performances — they are national gatherings built around storytelling, shared identity, and hope for generations to come.

Eden Arts & Immersive Media Festival is a producing partner of the Freedom250 initiative as part of celebrating America@250. Eden serves as a national lead for the Candlelight Concert Series presented in America’s National Parks as part of the official America@250 cultural programming, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Dome

Eden’s portable 360-degree projection-mapped dome theatre travels to national parks and landmark venues nationwide. More than a screening room, it’s a fully immersive environment built for storytelling at scale. Freedom 250 is its first national deployment. This is only the beginning.

Proto Hologram Technology

In partnership with Proto Inc., Eden is deploying volumetric hologram technology to bring historical figures, performing artists, and interactive AI experiences to life on stage. Proto’s technology powers some of our most ambitious programming across both Freedom 250 and the 2027 festival.

This is Your Moment Too

America’s 250th anniversary happens once. The cultural institutions built around it will shape America’s next century of progress. Eden is raising $10 million to bring this vision to life, and we are looking for founding partners who believe in what American culture can become.

Through the Institute of the Future, the next generation of artists, creators, and changemakers will trace their beginnings back to this moment. Your support doesn’t just fund events. It builds the foundation for a cultural movement that outlasts all of them.

Join our advisory board members Jonah Loop and Richard Swart in making this a reality.
