This year’s event celebrating and supporting the work of emerging artists across dance, theatre, music, film, and digital arts takes place June 4 at SFU Woodward’s Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.

Founded in 2010, the fest is the perfect launch pad for emerging artists who are looking to build professional relationships, gain career insights and creative support, and connect with artists across the Lower Mainland. 

 As part of the process, a mix of industry-leading artists and arts mentors help facilitate the day’s activities and discussions. 

Who can apply? Emerging artists with a practice in any contemporary performance art (including dance, music, theatre, film, digital, or interdisciplinary), with people from diverse and minority backgrounds especially encouraged to apply. You can find more details and the application form here.
