A MUSIC CALENDAR Fans raise money for Winfest after fire; FORMAT annouces lineup MONICA HOOPER NWA Democrat-Gazette A fire in late 2022 destroyed supplies for the annual Winfest Music Festival, but a group of fans in Winslow pulled together a fundraiser to take place April 15, from noon to 6 p.m., so that the show may go on. There will be a chili supper, pie auction and T-shirts for sale, plus a day's worth of live music. Jesse Dean performs at noon, David Cross at 1:30 p.m., Pipe Dream Weavers at 3 p.m., Slowtowne Serenaders at 4:30 p.m and Matthew Harris at 5:30 p.m. at Winslow Community Arts Center (the old high school building), 351 U.S. 71 South in Winslow.

Arkansas artist Danielle Hatch will transform and dress FORMAT's onsite bars using colorful textiles that reference domestic interiors. In collaboration with local composer Amos Cochran, Hatch will present "ALL THE SOARINGS OF MY MIND BEGIN IN MY BLOOD", a performance piece that ritualizes and reconnects audiences to the physical and psychological journeys of female ancestors. (Cochran will not perform a solo show.)
