Thank you or your interest in performing at Taste of the Arts 2023. We are thrilled to have so many registrations for performers this year. Any new registrations are now being put onto a wait list, and we will pull from this list as other groups become unavailable. Traditionally every wait listed group has been added to the final schedule.
The festival footprint stretches from stages on the Arts Campus, Rousseau Plaza, The Landing, and at Promenade Park. Times and lengths on these stages will vary and the Performers Committee will assign artists to the stages based on needs.
Arts United's free Taste of the Arts Festival is now in its 15th 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 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.
