Around The Coyote
2005 Winter Arts Festival
Festival Dates: February 11th, 12th, and 13th

Chicago, IL -- Around the Coyote is giving artists, and art patrons, a chance to break from winter to enjoy some of Chicago artist¹s most entertaining work at the 6th Annual Around The Coyote Winter Arts Festival in Wicker Park over the second weekend in February.

The fun kicks-off on Thursday, February 10th, at 7 p.m. when ATC hosts the Opening Night Party, which will feature the Curator¹s Choice Exhibition & Silent Auction in the Flat Iron Arts Building¹s north entrance at 1939-1/2 W. North Avenue. Poet cin salach will perform her work and serve up some evocative poetry at this event. Party-goers can enjoy complimentary food, drink, and music while bidding on their favorite piece of art, and unlike in the past, the Curators' Choice show and silent auction will close at 11 p.m. the same evening. The Opening Night Party is a great way to meet the artists involved in the festival and talk to them about their work, as well as see the Curators' Choice picks of their favorite submissions to the festival
