Calling all wanderers, daydreamers, and anyone still willing to believe in a little magic. Come play with us as our collective gathers for our fall edition. Impossible Illusions was born from a group of friends who create with friends, for friends.
 From our humble roots in a Brooklyn backyard, we’ve built a night where art and music exist symbiotically — where paintings, bands, animations, DJs, sculptures, performance, lasers, and whatever else we’ve dreamed up all get to live in the same room. A night to be reminded of the magic of creativity in all its forms. This time, we finally get to give it some room to grow. We’re taking over Substance Skatepark — our biggest canvas yet, and our chance to bring the festival we’ve always imagined to life. Impossible Illusions lives somewhere between what you see and what your mind makes of it — we give you the pieces; your imagination does the rest. What makes us unique is simple: the people who create it. Every artist and musician brings something made from the heart, shaped by their own stories, strange ideas, experiments, obsessions, and little pieces of themselves. Put all of those personal worlds together for one night, and you get something that couldn’t really belong to anyone else. The spirit of it all has always been simple: If I can create something that makes at least one person smile, I can die happy. More than anything, we hope you leave remembering that magic still exists. Come easy, dance hard, get distracted, and stare at some art for too long. Talk to strangers. Dress like yourself, but turn up the dial — bonus points if it makes you smile. Bring something you’ve made and add a little piece of your world to ours — give one, take one for the imagination. Follow whatever catches your eye, get a little lost, and maybe leave with something you weren’t looking for. So we’re here to tell you... show up... 
have fun... 
be open... and you’ll see it and you’ll feel it — the magic of our Impossible Illusions. This little world belongs to everyone inside it. Come as you are, and give everyone else the space to do the same. Respect each other, the artists, the space, and each other’s boundaries. No hate, harassment, discrimination, or unwanted touching. Look out for your friends, look out for strangers, and help us keep the magic safe for everyone.
