(Deadline May 1st) Calling musicians! You’ve got tunes, we’ve got audiences with ears. Do you tickle those keys like legends, do you sing like a siren, drum like thunder? Vibrations ground you, music is your main jam—take the stage: we’ve got 5! (More or less…)
(Deadline May 1st) Calling Performers! Are you a circus artist or a roving character who thrives on bringing wonder to a crowd? A provocative burlesque clown who dreams of staging a surprise puppet show deep in the Enchanted Forest? Whatever your craft, we love rare and oddball work, joy and curiosity.
For all your installation ideas, art cars, projects and games! Did you make a 42 foot tall puppet of a dust mite that breaths fire and glows only when approached by humans with open eyes? Did you make a stop motion film about the life of a river stone and robots that play drums? An art car covered in children’s toys (sound familiar)?
Jump on board the ship, all you builder/maker/helper types, as we set sail on the seas of creation! Apply to join our team, and animate this cacophonous dream. You’re the best! (Also, you basically get a free weekend pass to the whole festival for completing your shifts! A small application fee notwithstanding 😘)
You make earrings from found pine cones, and the richest brownies this side of the Mississippi. You sling clothing made from cattails and died with mushroom inks. Bring your crafts and goods, food and noms!
Calling all speed demon greasemonkey maker folks! Let’s bomb a thing with wheels (and brakes, yes) down a curvy hill!
REGISTER for the latest and greatest Daredevil Downhill Soapbox Derby of DOOM! (Just kidding about the “doom” part, insurance person…)
