Celebrating 20 years of programming in Chicago, Around the Coyote announces a Spring Arts Festival highlighting the best of Chicago's emerging visual and performing arts. Painters, sculptors, photographers, installation artists, printmakers, filmmakers, actors, performance artists, musicians and poets will exhibit, sell and perform their work in a variety of large and small venues throughout West Town.
This festival will be curated by Anne Mills and a special guest curator (visual art), Catherine Forster (media arts), Homeroom (music), Megan Shuchman and Amanda Dunne (theatre).
This year's festival will take place concurrently with the Do Division Street Festival with outdoor music stages curated by Empty Bottle and food vendors from some of West Town's best restaurants. Boutiques along Division Street will also be offering special sales throughout the weekend.
Around the Coyote, a 501(c)3 non-profit, supports, promotes and makes accessible Chicago's multidisciplinary arts community. Our activities enhance public discourse and provide creative outlets for emerging artists. Year-round programming includes multi-media arts festivals featuring visual art, theater, dance, film, music, video and poetry in the spring and fall; art exhibitions in the Around the Coyote gallery; an artist-in-residence program; membership opportunities for artists and art aficionados; educational outreach for all ages through multi-media art workshops, lectures, collaborations with local schools and agencies, and career development workshops for artists. Programming is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the CityArts Program 2 grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.
