The Artistic Expression Behind Illfest
Illfest was originally a festival called “Illectric River” and was started by Jason Millsap and Robert Brooks. PRIME came onto Illfest in its 3rd year when it rebranded as part of a natural synergy between them and the founding members.
“A lot of this was because we formed the Mark My Words partnership with owner, Robert Brooks, so getting involved with Illfest was a natural progression,” PRIME says. “Illfest and festival projects for us are a challenge that we personally love to tackle. They are filled with problems to be solved and for us are tests of what it means to curate and share.” Additionally, the recent partnership with Disco Donnie this year has been generating a lot of buzz! As Donnie has been a long-time partner with Mark My Words, it was a natural discussion to work together with Donnie on Illfest, as they have always maintained that the best approach to a successful and healthy music market is collaboration.
“We have always tried to create and share what we collectively enjoy and want to celebrate with our community,” PRIME says. “I think the most important thing for us is sharing art that we believe and hope we are able to contribute to the growth of new ideas, art, and experiences.” Every year, Illfest continues to feature diverse lineups of music and visual artists, unique production, great eats, installations, and of course, amazing sound. The art and installation portion of Illfest is really the festival's other half.
“Street art is something that has inspired all of the festival contributors,” PRIME says. “It’s something that brings us together and we feel that it’s an important shared moment for the festival guests. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be involved in projects like Illfest and work with the talented people that really bring this all together!”
