Musician Getting Visual at the Library Application

The Millcreek Arts Council is working in collaboration with the Millcreek Library to resume our community monthly visual art display.

Paid Gig! We pay $100 for one musician or $125 for a group.

This 45 minute gig is background music for a reception where conversations and socializing take place in the area. Additionally, we will fund a reception, open to the public, with refreshments and music.

We’re looking for: 

• Local Millcreek City musicians (not required to apply or play but we like to shout-out locals)
• Ok with playing background music during an art event
• Can set-up and take-down quickly

If interested, please fill out the application below and we’ll get back to you! Thank you for your interest.
