His boundless energy made for an exciting, cutting-edge festival in a decidedly bohemian community. But Bucktown and Wicker Park began to gentrify, and after Happy-Delpech left the festival in 1995 due to failing health, Around the Coyote lost its center. No one knew from year to year who would be in charge or what the festival would represent, and as recently as last winter its true believers were wondering whether the festival would happen this year. Finally Olga Stefan, an assistant director at Yello Gallery and arts administration student at the School of the Art Institute, took it upon herself to organize the tenth Around the Coyote: this year’s festival, scheduled for September 9 through 12, will be dedicated to Happy-Delpech, who died on August 3.
