CALL FOR ARTISTS
Politics & Art: District of Creativity will spotlight DC-based artists who use the power of their voices to inspire, entertain, and empower. We invite artists who live in the District to apply to participate and to tell us how they would like to use their voices — whether in song, spoken word, or a host of other expressive modes — to channel stories and share messages. This is a showcase format, with multiple locations that will be activated within The Wilson Building. Each act will perform a set of 15 minutes.
The deadline to apply has been extended to Friday, March 13th, 2020 and details for consideration are below. The cost of submitting an application has been underwritten, so applicants may apply free of charge!
