Pickathon HQ reported a successful festival in 2024, featuring diverse artists and securing a decade-long permit for their venue. However, recent blog posts raised concerns as they indicated potential corporate sponsorship and fundraising necessities. Founder Zale Schoenborn emphasized a need to assess community values and expenses, highlighting the festival's proactive efforts to adapt for future sustainability. The strategic surveys and communications aim to engage previous attendees in deciding the festival's direction, balancing financial needs with preserving its essence.
"We really needed to let everyone know that we had some decisions to make. We knew our expenses were wack, and we couldn't continue to go down the same path."
"If this has started alarm bells ringing in your head and heart, Pickathon founder Zale Schoenborn would like to quiet them."
