2024 Performer Registration                        

Thank you for your interest in performing at Taste of the Arts 2024!

Taste of the Arts will take place on Saturday, August 24, 2024. There are many exciting changes coming to the festival this year. Our prominent anchor venue, the Arts United Center will be under renovation this fall and this brings with it new opportunities. To start, we are highlighting this project by centering much of the activity around this historic venue and its growth. We have also listened to feedback from festival participants and the public and will be focusing the footprint on Arts Campus Fort Wayne. With both of those, the location of stages and number of performance slots available have both changed in 2024. This year the performers will be chosen by a selection committee. We ask that you share with us any videos, social media, or examples of your performance so this group can make these tough choices with the most information possible. Times and lengths of each act will vary and the committee will assign artists to the stages based on needs, type of performances, and volume.  As always, space for larger groups is limited and there are more opportunities for smaller acts. 

Arts United's free Taste of the Arts Festival is now in its 16th year! We strive to bring the largest diversity of performances of any event in town and show off the amazing talent that our community has to offer. The other part of this mission is to provide a FREE event to attend, allowing us to make the arts accessible to all, no matter your background, culture, socioeconomic status, or any other possible barrier that could prevent someone from being a part of this community. Your participation for this event is a donation to the community to showcase the vibrant fabric of our arts community and a celebration of the strength and vibrancy of our arts and culture in Northeast Indiana. Sponsors make this event happen and this allows us to provide a modest stipend to you as a thank you for your participation. 

In addition to a juried art marketplace, nonprofit organizational booths, arts and crafts, hands-on activities, and a wide variety of restauranteurs, the Taste this year will have 7 performance stages designed to accommodate actors, musicians, dancers, and other types of performing artists.

This is a rain or shine festival! In the event of inclement weather, performances may continue under tented stages if it is safe to do so.

Complete this request form NO LATER THAN JUNE 1st! Applications after that day will be considered on a wait list. You will receive an email confirming your submission. Performers that are selected will be notified by JULY 1st and receive the tentative schedule July 15th.
