ABOUT

Eccentrik Festival began in the year 2004. Its purpose was to bring together different elements of the underground in a single event that would be a celebration of our culture, created by the scene for the scene. It was also a reaction to the more mainstream art establishment. One that not only wouldn't acknowledge underground artists, but sent out the message that somehow, for some reason, artists from a gothic/industrial or punk rock background didn't deserve the same credibility as "serious" artists, musicians and performers.

Over the three years, the event has grown in size and ambition. However, the DIY ethic remains essential. The event is funded at a grass-roots level. Over the course of the year, people make individual contributions, and we hold various fund-raising events. We do actively seek sponsors and partners to underwrite the costs of the festival; one hundred percent of the funds raised are used to benefit the present and future festivals.

All of the people responsible for the planning and execution of the festival do so as volunteers, generously donating their own time and money so that something like this will exist.

It is our hope that the Eccentrik Festival will continue to grow and remain true to its "by the scene, for the scene" DIY ethic. We would ultimately like to see Eccentrik become one of the premiere underground events held in the Southeastern United States. This is not an unreasonable hope as long as people continue to believe in what Eccentrik stands for: individual vision, individual expression and the power of the arts to affect culture and the world as a greater whole.
