Citizen Coalition for Wildlife and Environment

Welcome to Citizen Coalition for Wildlife and Environment, who will have a booth at the VegFest.  They’re based in Grand Island, NY, and we’re excited that they’re coming to provide information to people about how we can help animals that live free.  Check out their projects to see how you can help.

They’ll be bringing a gift basket to our raffle lineup – thanks!

Artisan Works

Thank you to Artisan Works for donating a framed Ramone Santiago print for our silent auction!

Did you know?  Artisan Works is:

  • Self-funded 501(c)3 not-for profit art space that exists without government aid
  • Exists within a 40,000 square foot renovated factory building
  • Supports regional artists through the art incubator program
  • Roughly 500,000 items in the collection
  • The owners are vegan!

You can visit Artisan Works’ collection for a tour, buy or lease art, host an event large or small in their enormous, eclectic building-of-many-rooms, or work with them to art-ify a sad, ugly space.

Perfectly Posh

Welcome to Perfectly Posh, who will have a booth at Rochester VegFest!

Perfectly Posh is a skincare company that makes naturally-based products in the USA, never tests on animals, uses recyclable containers, has many vegan options, and all individual items cost under $25.

Want to experience their products at the booth first?  There will be samplers of hand cremes, facial moisturizers, and body butters.  You’ll be able to smell big Chunk bath soap bars, scrubby Snarky bars, body scrubs, skin sticks, and face masks/body muds.  They will also have individually wrapped bath bombs for sale – you can’t try them, but you can definitely smell them.  And they’ll be handing out prepackaged samples to take home.

They’re also bringing a raffle basket, and providing goodies for our SWAG bags!

Thanks, Asha, for donating a gift basket to our raffle!
