CALL FOR MUSICIANS
THE ART MARATHON COMETH!
And we are looking for all kinds of musicians to play a variety of show times and spaces during our annual contemporary art and performance festival, to be held this year between August 18th and August 26th.
WHAT YOU CAN SEND US
Musicians and bands are encouraged to send proposals including:
1. A sample of your music (preferably a CD recording)
2. A short paragraph about who you are and why you make your music
3. Your equipment, technical and space needs
4. Where you would like to make your noise (see below)
WHERE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR NOISE
The Art Marathon Festival sees Eastern Edge and surrounding spaces transformed into a creative mecca, with several dozen artists producing works over a 24-hour period, and an all-night line-up of live music and performances. There are two opportunities for Musicians to preform, the opening of the Art Marathon Festival on August 18, and the closing of the Festival on August 25 stretching into the wee hours of the morning on the 26th. Sets are generally between 30-45 minutes long. Let us know your preference!
The festival committee will review all proposals and contact bands they are interested in before August 3rd. Eastern Edge is dedicated to paying artists professional fees.
