Since 2013, Ashley has worked for the yearly arts and music festival, documenting and archiving the story through her camera lens. Now 10 years later, there are over 250 + artists and musicians who will be a part of the most DIY project out there, an indie-film and indie-musicians. Take a journey through the years...
Artists Deserve a Place to Call Home.
Homegrown the Movie ! is a special, one-of-a-kind, journey of a grass-roots, DIY festival, The Homegrown Arts and Music Festival becoming one of the biggest original music events in Chicagoland. Video artist, Ashley Williams, has been involved with the festival for over a decade (now in 11th year in 2023) In 2015 during the production of the promo video, all musicians were asked the question: What does "HOME" mean to you? The answers became the groundwork for an intrinsically based film about the artist progress, journey, and inner spirit. What began as a group of original musicians playing together to a yearly, summer party that can't be missed. The spirit of the event has now grown to more than a decade of memories and community action.The film is here to celebrate that same energy.

Homegrown Arts and Music Festival has a story to tell...
In the early 2000's, DIY/indie-musicians were becoming sorely overlooked for opportunities in local, community music events. In 2013, musician Aaron Williams, broke free from the constrictions and started his own festival. Booked his own friends and local music acts. The first year of the festival was just the beginning of a decade-long journey shared with over 250 original artists and musicians. With the inception of the Homegrown Arts and Music Festival, a grass-roots music festival was born, yearly setting the stages, and delivering local bands a platform to showcase their original music on one-day and one-location for the community. |
