COYOTE ART CENTER CHICAGO At Around the Coyote, change is good. That's why we have decided to move our festival to October - that's October 12- 14th, to be exact - smack dab in the middle of Chicago Artists Month! But that's not all -- in our constant effort to make our festivals reflect the newest and most outstanding emerging art in Chicago, Around the Coyote has hired a new team of curators to bring an even more dynamic lineup of theatre events, literary performances, live music shows, film and video presentations, and special visual arts projects. We are also continuing our efforts to diversify the nature of our festival's offerings, with new initiatives in interdisciplinary performance, installation and public art projects including site-specific outdoor installations at the Nelson Algren Triangle at the intersection of Milwaukee and Division Aves. Some things however are best left the same: The annual Curator's Choice Show, a best of the fest exhibition based on visual arts exhibitors will again be curated by one of Chicago's top contemporary arts professionals - Shannon Stratton, chief curator of ThreeWalls . In addition, we will also debut a new site-specific project by Haseeb Ahmed, our fall artist-in-residence. And, as always, the festival will be riddled with amazing parties, exhibits and performances at venues throughout Wicker Park. In addition to our nightly after-parties and our wildly popular closing night bash, we will be kicking things off with our Opening Night Party (on Thurs, Oct. 11 from 8 - midnight at the Around the Coyote Gallery, 1935 -1/2 West North Ave). The Opening Night Party serves as the official debut of our artist-in-residence project, Curator's Choice Silent Auction and raffle, a fundraiser for Around the Coyote's free arts education program. Party-goers will be able to indulge themselves with food catered by a fabulous area restaurant and quench their thirst with plenty of Peroni Beer. Curator's Choice artists include: Craig Anderson, Agata Czeremuszkin, Mara Baker, Leah Hessler, Sophia Pichinos, Iwona Biederman, Lisa Lindvay, Austin Eddy, Sari Maxfield, and Robert Burnier Our 2007 Fall Arts Festival will take place in multiple venues throughout the Wicker Park/Bucktown neighborhood, but the best place to start the festival and pick up your festival guide is the Around the Coyote Gallery in the Flatiron Arts Building 1935-1/2 W. North Avenue. Over 300 painters, sculptors, photographers, installation artists and printmakers join up with emerging artists from Chicago's theatre, music, literary and film communities to offer a weekend packed full of exhibits, lectures, art tours and performances. |
