Titwrench Fest (or Titwrench) is a yearly, all-ages, lady-centered, D.I.Y., 3 day music and art festival in Denver, Colorado.[1] Started in 2009 by Sarah Slater, the festival focuses on female-led bands and female solo artists from around the United States. Although the emphasis is on female artists, male artists are included and encouraged to join the festival in support of equality and feminism.[2] Sarah Slater states on the Titwrench official website, "EVERYONE is welcome to participate!"[3]
History
Titwrench Fest was started in 2009 in Denver by local artist Sarah Slater. The three-day long event is funded entirely by donations and run exclusively by artists and volunteers.[4] The first year's events were held in three venues, however as the audience expanded it became more logistically reasonable to limit the events to one area. In 2010, the event is expected to include over 40 musicians and groups from across the United States and an expanded craft and merchandise area.
Ideology
Titwrench Fest is self-claimed "lady-centric" and "proudly champions feminist ideals and punk’s rebellious, do-it-yourself spirit."[5] Titwrench is focused on music ("more than 30 all-female/female-fronted bands"[6]) but is "all inclusive" and has featured video artists, performance artists, fashion designers, painters, noise artists, etc.
Because of the Do-It-Yourself nature of the festival, Titwrench has no corporate sponsorship.
