The Press Statement…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HARVESTING THE FAM FEST 2009
September 15th, 2009 – Windsor, Ontario.
Harvesting The FAM is Windsor, Ontario’s largest independent inter-arts festival designed for the promotion and development of Film, Artistic and Musical talents (FAM), working in any medium or genre. The festival creates a positive, open-minded space for artists to exhibit, promote, perform and sell their works. This year’s festival will take place October 1st-4th at a variety of venues and spaces transforming the downtown core of Windsor into a cultural mecca for the masses.
This year the festival organizers have made changes to the ticket format in the hope of filling every venue involved to capacity for the benefit of business partners and the creative talents showcased at the event. These passes will be available exclusively through the support of our community partners (Chanosos, Oishii, WWAC, Rogues Gallery, Artcite, Printhouse, The Loop Building, Milk Coffee Bar, Empire Lounge & Vermouth), the creative talents featured and the Festival Street Team beginning September 15th. These tickets have no price, and tickets set aside for the festival weekend will be limited and available by donation. For more information see www.famfest.ca.
The Festival will act as a collective call to inform the people of Windsor, as well as communities throughout Canada, that creativity lives here. This year’s festival will once again play home to filmmakers, artists and musicians of all disciplines with merchandise from involved talents available throughout the festival weekend at the FAM-Shop (WWAC – 328 Pelissier). The final lineup and schedule of the festival will be announced September 22nd via famfest.ca. The line-up currently features a great array of talent from Windsor, Detroit and Southwestern Ontario ranging from industry standard professionals to emerging creative talents and still has limited space available for filmmakers, artists and musicians of any ilk. Interested parties should contact Murad Erzinclioglu or Emily Copeland – famfest@live.com
