Hey All,
We are still alive and well and wanted to offer a quick update...
The Coast Projects Instagram was seemingly hacked, temporarily—and then permanently—disabled six months ago. After a handful of futile attempts at recovery and nothing but AI chatbots to offer any assistance, it seems it's gone for good.
Kind of a bummer. We had a nice organic following, and it served as a sweet little archive of all we've gotten into over the past nearly 15 years. Who knows, maybe it's a blessing in disguise? Social media is insane these days.
All said, I may end up creating a new Coast Projects Instagram account at some point, but in the meantime, I'd like to be able to connect about what's going on, and unfortunately Facebook is not my forte.
That said, if you feel so inclined, please follow along at one or both of these still-working and relatively active Instagram accounts that are both related to Coast Projects. I will make it a point to occasionally post Coast-specific info when it’s relevant:

All said, on the festival front, we are releasing December's lineup today (9/4) at noon. It's gonna be a great weekend, and tickets go on sale for locals only through Sunday at The Coast Outpost, so stop on by!
On the personal front, I'm working towards a big solo painting exhibition in November, so please follow along!
Hope to see some of you soon—either at the shop or on Instagram...
