Call for Artists Description:

The Performing Arts departments at Douglas College are seeking musicians and/or musical groups interested in performing in the 2024/2025 afternoon performance series.

The performance series offers free weekly concerts during the fall and winter semesters for our students, staff and community members. The series features professional musicians based in Metro Vancouver and students from the Douglas College Music Department. Each concert includes a performance of up to 40 minutes and a 15-minute talkback.

The intention of this concert series is to provide a platform for engaging and innovative artists to perform to new audiences. We also want our students to learn about the artistic process and the lived experience of professional artists through storytelling and/or a Q&A. Submissions that demonstrate skill and expertise in this area will be prioritized.

Douglas College is committed to fostering an equitable, accessible, diverse and inclusive campus where all people feel a sense of belonging. We strongly encourage applications from people who identify as a member of an underrepresented or marginalized community including IBPOC, and 2SLGBTQIA+. We invite applicants to self-identify in their application if they feel comfortable doing so, as priority will be given to these individuals or groups.

Douglas College prioritizes paying artists a fair fee for their work. In the spirit of transparency, we would like to share that our base fee is $250 per performer.
