COOL FEST is a cool festival of music, art and other sensory delights that encourages healthy heavy partying and intuitive artistic exploration. Cool Fest is about connecting different artistic communities and putting disparate creative people alongside each other to share their vision and discover new approaches and ideas, in a bilingual space.

COOL FEST XIII NYC will take place at Fitness NYC and Silent Barn. This will be a meeting of minds and souls from all over, but specifically a Montreal/USA fusion project. The best in new weird music from all over the area will come together to howl at the resulting Brundlefly and celebrate. Home-cooked food will be served, and each night a different NYC artist will open each space with installation and performance.

This is the second Cool Fest event to take place in NYC, the first being a show at Silent Barn in 2010 curated by Blake Hargreaves and Nat Roe featuring Twig Harper, Chaw Mank, MV Carbon and others.
