Word of Mouth is a project umbrella that hosts several platforms for genuine artistic expression. We began with The June Show in June of 2008 and each show/event will lead up to Word Of Mouth Festival, an annual event that will serve as the vortex of creative souls to come together and give. Word Of Mouth Fest premiered on March 20-21, 2009 and will benefit the Tell Everyone Artist Fund (see description below). Every year Word Of Mouth Fest will be a fundraiser and benefit for organizations and projects(to be announced annually)that are working on the dire need of helping our culture and community, namely those who cannot help themselves.
We are looking for bands (signed and unsigned/local, national, internationally known and unknown), dj's, performance artists, comedians as well as spoken word, sound and visual artists to perform during our 2 day annual event. All genres of music and walks of life are invited to share their voice to promote positive living and the reconstruction of this broken world...one word at a time.
UPCOMING WORD OF MOUTH EVENTS:
The ExPress, May 22 @ G.I.G., 2803 N. St. Mary's, With I.O.K., His Astroturban, EP-SR feat. Electro Connecto, All The Lonely People and more TBA.

The Tell Everyone Artist Fund is a new resource for musicians,bands and artists in the San Antonio and neighboring areas.
The purpose of the Tell Everyone Artist Fund is to assist the music and art community in their artistic time of need: relationally, functionally and financially, for the encouragement of pursuing their creative goals amidst unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, the fund will serve as a means to prepare for future artistic endeavors.
Through the Tell Everyone Artist Fund we will exemplify the core mission of Word Of Mouth and Tell Everyone Records: To connect, awaken and equip. We propose this by building bridges of relationship established in truth and encouragement with every artist that will benefit from this resource. Followed by a meeting of purpose in which we will sit with the artist(s) and listen to their goals and alert them to any other resources available to them. Lastly, we will propose and award the provision (relational, functional or financial) necessary to meet their creative needs.
The Tell Everyone Artist Fund will open in May 2009, following the premiere of its first contributor, Word Of Mouth Fest 2009. Contributions will continue quarterly through Word Of Mouth and Tell Everyone Records productions and events as well as public support and donations.

There are eligibility requirements as well as an application and interview process for those seeking assistance through the Tell Everyone Artist Fund.
