Calling all Street Performers, Musicians, and Performing Artists! Evergreen Cultural Centre is delighted to announce our brand new Open Air Performance Series, a summer-long series of live performances created to expand our arts programming outside our usual performance spaces and into Town Centre Park and Lafarge Lake. 

From July 10 – September 01, 2023, our Open Air Series will offer free, 1 hour performances from Monday to Friday at 12pm. All performances will take place in a designated, outdoor area near Evergreen, and all artists will be paid for their time and promoted across our in-person and digital platforms.

In doing so, we hope this new series will support Evergreen’s goals of developing new relationships with Lafarge Lake lovers and passersby while serving our community by providing free, professional arts programming. So get your picnic baskets ready and come join us for a show!

Applications to the series are now open! All Instructions and details on how to apply are available on our online application form. We welcome and encourage artists, musicians, and street performers of all backgrounds, disciplines, and lived experiences to apply.

Our Open Air Performance Series is a fantastic way to connect with our local community, as well as with the Tri-Cities’ largest performing arts organization… that’s us!

All successful applicants will recieve: 

• An artist fee of $100 per performance
• A performance space which includes a tent for shelter, a small powered audio system, and some basic audio equipment (mics, DIs, cables, etc.)
• Space/signage provided to highlight the artist’s work and social media to create connections

*Please note that performers under the age of 16 are required to have a parent or guardian present during their performance.
