The first weekend of April marked the inaugural Stop/Time Festival, a multi-day, multi-venue music festival produced by Hancher Auditorium that invited pass holders into the world of avant-garde sounds. The festival offered audiences a fresh perspective on music, highlighting innovation and independence within the broader arts landscape.

SCOPE contributed in a variety of ways, from stagehands and merchandise sellers to hospitality assistants and venue runners, providing support across the festival. In addition to those efforts, members of SCOPE's content committee had the opportunity to document the event through photography. The images below capture moments throughout the festival.
