Thank you for your interest in applying to showcase with us!
Ontario Presents will be hosting our Virtual Networking Series Artist Showcases on October 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2024. Thirty (30) performing artists will be chosen to showcase their performances online to a wide range of Ontario based venue programmers. Each showcase will feature 5 minute pre-recorded presentations from artists that span the genres of theatre, dance, music, circus, young audience and variety. Artists from all regions of Canada and the US are welcomed to apply.
Each artist or company is asked to complete one (1) application form per project or performance. Each artist or collective can apply with up to three (3) shows for the jury’s consideration. If you are applying to showcase with more than one show please fill out a separate form for each project.
Our network of presenters has impressed upon us the need for good quality videos of the applicant’s proposed project as well as the need for technical requirements. As such, in this form you will be asked to provide videos and technical information. Sharing this information with us is strongly encouraged as it will aid in the success of your application.
Special consideration will be given to applications from Ontario based artists. Emphasis will also be placed on applicants who identify as Indigenous, Black, or a Person of Colour, Deaf, Mad, Disabled, members of the LGBTQ2S+ community and other marginalized groups.
Please note that due to a large number of applications, only successful applicants will be notified.
We strongly encourage all applicants to review this Guide to Application Process to answer any questions or concerns. If you’re not sure if you are ready to apply please check out this Preparing for a Virtual Showcase resource.
