LOCAL PERFORMANCE ARTISTS

READ BEFORE YOU APPLY: We are excited to announce an opportunity for artists in our community to share their voices and creativity. This showcase is dedicated to amplifying local talent in spoken word, poetry, and orchestral and acoustic music. Our goal is to provide a platform for artists to be seen, heard, and celebrated, while inspiring our community through the power of art. We will be promoting you leading up to and following the event on our social media and for our sponsors. 

For the purposes of this application, original arrangements and renditions of music is allowed. However, if the cover or rendition too closely resembles the original, your application may be denied. 

If you are a poet, spoken word performer, or musician, we invite you to apply!

We will have one rehearsal prior to the Fall Festival. 

Each artist will be performing on a stage during the Fall Festival October 18-19, 2025. Please note: This WILL NOT be on the stage at Festival Park. 

If you have any questions please reach out to Info@thedogwoodfestival.com .
