Performance applications open December 5, 2022 and the deadline is February 11, 2023. Selections Process: Artists will be selected by a jury comprised of music and performing arts professionals. Jury selections will be based upon materials submitted with the application and on past performances. The jury will look for professionalism, originality, creativity, and suitability of materials for our family audiences. Work Samples: All applicants are required to provide samples of their work. The work samples should reflect how you will look/sound at Summerfest Arts Faire, i.e., if you plan to perform solo at Summerfest Arts Faire, your work sample should be solo, not a highly produced recording with multiple musicians playing. To submit work samples: Submit URLs for online places (your own website, or others like ReverbNation, CDBaby, Facebook, etc.) where we can hear your music and view a video of a recent performance (preferred). At least one quality photo that can be used for publicity should be submitted with your application. Deadline: Completed applications and supporting materials must be received by Summerfest Arts Faire no later than midnight on Saturday, February 11, 2023. Notification of jury decisions will be emailed by Saturday, March 27, 2023.

Contracts will be emailed by early April, and must be signed and returned with a technical rider no later than Monday, April 17, either via email or by mail. Links to performances of accepted performers, as well as photos may be used for archival, publicity, and website purposed before, during and after the event. Technical Rider: Performers must supply us with a technical rider when submitting their signed contract which is due no later than April 17, 2023. This rider must outline all tech needs for the artists performance. Fees: Summerfest Arts Faire pays all contracted performers.
