Artist Submission
Artists
An artists submission form has been on the fest website since the beginning of 2012 and although our programming has changed for the second weekend in August 2012, Artists will now have an extended opportunity. Artists who submit to perform at our festival are also reviewed by a Culture Pillar committee for an opportunity to perform at one of our series of concerts held at various venues around town throughout the year. Later this year there will also be an opportunity for artists to hold a residency for professional development including an adequately equipped rehearsal space, recording environment and a yoga studio. Stand by for more info.
Venues
Besides the numerous other great benefits of living in Carstairs, this town is blessed with what seems like an endless supply of venues and creative spaces. These buildings and rooms vary in size and functionality but have the ability to provide nearly any art form the proper environment to be showcased.
Arena ~ Community Hall ~ Chapel ~ Legion ~ Half Century Club ~ Curling Club ~ Barley’s Pub ~ The Café Radio ~ and more.
There is also a great festival up the road in Didsbury every summer called the Mountain View Arts Festival.
Thank you for this opportunity. Snehasish has his visa already for Canada and US for the next seven years as he would very much like to share his unique performance as far and wide as possible. He looks forward to your festival. You can see from his Youtubes that audiences and musicians alike love him. You really have to experience it live to understand how rare and special it is – think Ravi Shankar with Jimi Hendrix in the 60s. Snehasish, incidently performed with the Ravi Shankar Orchestra at the Concert for George at Royal Albert Hall, London. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions.
Please fill out an Artist Submission form for review. Thanks.
Thanks for the opportunity to play at this festival, it is great to see organizations that promote local artists!
Cheers,
