Organizers this year are also excited to announce Sled Island 2013, taking place from June 19 to 22, will be curated by Tim Hecker & John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees. Both artists bring their diverse and inventive tastes to the table to help curate what will be the biggest Sled Island to date.

Special main events will be held here in the heart of downtown, alongside 30 other venues throughout the city.
