Coyote Fest 2022

Presented by Omni Open Studios

Coyote Fest was hosted on August 20th 2022 by Omni Open Studios. This event was an art and music collaboration event designed to support the work of local creatives. Coyote Fest was unique in how it was funded. I raised a total of $3,688 for this event through the community using arts grants, crowd sourcing and merchandise sales. Which allowed the creatives who participated to keep their profits from the event. Visual artists and food vendors were not charged a booth fee and the bands kept 100% of the door sales. The event was well attended. The visual artists and food vendors reported making sales and connecting with fellow vendors in the small business community. While many of the participating band members stated that they were happy to be included in such an event and were excited to receive payment for their performance.
