Demo Artist & Performer application

Not Your Mother’s Art Fest is a bold, vibrant celebration of art in all its forms—especially the unexpected. We’re seeking live demo artists and performers who are passionate about showcasing their creative process or performance art to an engaged audience.

Whether you paint, sculpt, spin fire, or create in a way that defies definition—we want to hear from you!

What We’re Looking For:

• Demo Artists to give live, interactive demonstrations throughout the day, offering attendees a behind-the-scenes look into how your art is made.

• Performers to entertain and energize guests through music, movement, or unique artistic expression.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• This is not a vendor opportunity. Demo artists and performers will not be provided a booth to sell art or merchandise.

• Completing this application does not guarantee selection. Our team will reach out individually to artists we are interested in featuring.

If you’re ready to inspire and engage the community in a fresh and unconventional setting, apply now to be considered for Not Your Mother’s Art Fest.
