Applications are now online to apply to perform at the 2008 Northwest Folklife Festival - please pass on to any perfomers you know who may be interested.
Here's the link:
http://www.nwfolklife.org/P_F/perfappstart.html Deadline is November 1st (there is a leetle bit of wiggle-room, but the programmers have soooo many applications to go through that they really need that time).
In case you don't already know:
"The Northwest Folklife Festival focuses on the traditional arts of the native and ethnic communities of the Northwest: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, Montana, and British Columbia. General applications are not accepted from other parts of the country except for special programs related to specific Festival themes. Being a free community festival, we do not offer performer fees."
With at least 250,000+ people attending the festival, it's some damn good exposure.
p.s. the link may be broken - we're on it and trying to fix it. oh the joys of a being a small nonprofit!
