Attention performers: submit application to perform at Northwest Folklife by Dec 1

Northwest Folklife invites musicians, dancers, community groups, artists, storytellers, and instructors to participate in the 2015 Northwest Folklife Festival, May 22-25, 2015, at Seattle Center.

If you or your group is based in the Northwest region, including Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Western Montana, this is a great opportunity to share your music and traditions.

The annual Northwest Folklife Festival is the largest free community arts festival in the United States. Drawing nearly 230,000 people over just four days, Northwest Folklife plans to program over 5,000 performers in 65 different genres of music, from Hawaiian to hip-hop; dance performances representing cultures from Ireland to India.

We believe everyone is a bearer of folk arts, and we encourage communities to share their cultural traditions, in the hope that interaction with new audiences will enrich the community as much as the audience. 

Submission deadline is December 1, 2014
