Arts Fest was born from one woman's vision: Roni Cherin believed the artists of Coto Brus deserved a place to be seen and celebrated, and she built this festival to give them exactly that.

Roni passed away in 2026, and a small group of volunteers has come together to carry her vision forward, keeping this celebration of Coto Brus artists alive and growing.

Arts Fest is a free community event, organized entirely by volunteers. Producing it is made possible through volunteer time, sponsors, and donations.

Roni's passing has also brought a legal process our organization must navigate, and that makes your support more important than ever. If you'd like to help us keep this event going, please consider making a donation. Every form of support is welcome.
