About this event
Join us in June at Arcosanti for The Cosanti Foundation's 2022 Alumni Reunion!
Can you believe it's been almost 10 years since the last time a big group of alumni got together at Arcosanti?
This year's reunion is a long time coming, so we've got a lot to share with you. We can't wait for you to meet all the new staff and residents, including our new CEO & Executive Director, Liz Martin-Malikian, and to see all the improvements that are being made throughout Arcosanti and The Cosanti Foundation. The weekend will include live music, an Italian Night dinner under the Vaults, an alumni memorial, special tours of Arcosanti, Frugal Soup, our first-ever Alumni Award, opportunities to get involved with the revitalized farm and food program, plenty of time to explore and socialize, and so much more.
Tickets are available in two forms:
- Weekend passes with overnight camping (bring-your-own tent/trailer/RV**) will be available for $120 per person ($150 after May 1).
- Daytime-only passes (good for all 3 days, but no overnights) will be available for $80 per person ($100 after May 1).
Tickets for children 12 and under will be available at a 50% discount.
Tickets for children 5 and under will be free.
Children will be required to be with their parents at all times; please plan accordingly.
Pets will not be permitted unless they are trained service animals as defined by the ADA; please plan accordingly.
You are welcome to bring family members and friends, but all people in your party must have a ticket, and at least one person in the party will need to be a verifiable alumn of an Arcosanti or Cosanti workshop, or equivalent (staff of The Cosanti Foundation or Cosanti Originals, board members, etc.).
**Note that Arcosanti does not have RV hookups. You are welcome to camp out onsite in yours, but for full RV accommodations, take a look at the offsite accommodations options below instead.

About the organizer
Arcosanti is a project of The Cosanti Foundation.
Founded in 1965, The Cosanti Foundation is an Arizona-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire a reimagined urbanism that builds resilient and equitable communities sustainably integrated with the natural world. Our vision is a world of equitable communities which improve earth/life balance and do better with less. We pursue this mission and vision at our two flagship locations, Cosanti (in Paradise Valley near Phoenix) and Arcosanti (near Mayer in central Arizona), as well as with projects, programs, and partnerships that hundreds of thousands of people have participated in over the last 57 years.
Through ongoing experimentation with and application of the principles of arcology (a combination of the words architecture and ecology), we seek to demonstrate a kind of construction and community that offers an alternative to sprawl development and a solution to modern social and environmental crises.
The Cosanti Foundation also owns and operates the for-profit Cosanti Originals, makers of world-famous bronze and ceramic windbells and other artisan items.
