This summer we’re bringing you FIVE FREE MOVIES at the Coyote Twin! Movies will show every Monday at 7pm. Admission is totally free thanks to our super great community sponsors. Each business picked their own title, so be sure to stop in and chat them up about their choice.

We love it when community partners pay for movie licenses. It’s an easy way to support our local nonprofit cinema. It takes some pressure off us to make the event “worth it” (when we book ticketed movies, a portion of those proceeds go back to the film distributor, so if enough folks don’t come we lose money). This way the whole town can see a film for free and the Coyote Twin gets to keep our concessions profits.

Interested in sponsoring a movie in the future? We keep Mondays through Wednesdays available for community screenings and private rentals. (Ever wanted to play video games on the big screen? We do that too!) Learn more or book reservation at coyotetwin.com/rentals.

The camp runs July 7–11, noon to 5:30pm each day. Registration is $145, and scholarships are available for families who need them. This year's theme is TAKE UP SPACE, an exploration of 3D art. We look forward to hosting your camper!

Vortex 2: Now accepting film submissions

Filmmakers! You have until July 20 to submit your short film for the second annual Vortex Film Festival. We’ll see you at the Coyote Twin September 26–28! Be sure to follow the festival on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with news and developments.

We did it, friends! Thanks to all your votes, Verm has been named this year's Best Small Town Art Scene! You can check out USA Today’s full top 10 list and then read the Argus Leader’s “How Vermillion Became the Best Small Town Art Scene in the US.” The Volante at USD also printed a piece on the win. And before poll closed this year, Plain Talk helped rally votes with a great article on why Verm is coolest.
