Backwoods Art Gathering, Ozark, AR |
(Ozark, AR) The first annual Backwoods Art Gathering will be
held July 27 through July 29 with gates opening early at 6:00
am on Friday through about 1:00 pm the following Monday.
Sponsored by Green Mountain Eco Project and hosted by
Soundwave Surfers Entertainment LLC, Backwoods Art Gathering
takes Place at Mulberry Mountain, stomping ground of the most
renowned music festivals in Ozark. Sure to be a sizzling
event for all ages, cultures and tastes, this unique festival
promises live art, powerful performers and music assembled by
the area's best. You can also expect family delights like
games, shopping, tasty treats and activities like disc golf
and waterfall trails.
"This event is about art and as many forms of it that we can squeeze in to one weekend," says it's founder and producer, Antonio Perez, who not only founded this ambitious weekend event, he is owner of Soundwave Surfers International and has worked in the music and entertainment business since childhood. Antonio wanted to find a middle ground between the music festivals he loves like Wakarusa, and the live performing artists, artwork and unique, creatively produced material he admires in music. Backwoods Art Gathering grew from his desire to share several varieties of art with as many people as he could.

"Thanks to good people, my dream is becoming a reality! With
our friends at Mulberry Mountain Lodge, Nomadic Pyro
Circus's amazing artists and performers network, and
funding by our friends at Green Mountain Eco Project, we have
been given the canvas to paint our expressions."
There will be non-stop live music and sights to see, as well as food and refreshments the entire weekend. Bands like DumpTruck Butterlips, Shibaten Spirits, Buddha's GrooveShoes and The Vine Brothers will be playing, and Motown Mike will be hosting a late night acoustic performing arts zone with jazz, drums and performers. Guests are encouraged to camp out on the property, bring lawn chairs or blankets, and even coolers with their own food and drinks. Festival-goers can look forward to a main stage, an acoustic stage and a hidden late night electronic tent. There will be something for everyone during this weekend long festival. We hope to see you there.
