Is performing your passion? Does your group have an act ready for the stage or is your band’s new song ready to go live? To appear in the World Village Festival Street Art Area, application period starts 15 February and ends 14 April 2024.

The Street Art Area of World Village Festival is where creativity is free to flow. The stage is open for everyone, regardless of whether your thing is music, dance, circus, theatre, poetry, improvisation, Tai Chi demonstrations or any other performance. The festival is especially looking for street artists and amateur groups to perform in the Street Art Area. The maximum duration of a performance is 25 minutes. Any performance that is in good taste and safe is welcome – just make sure the performance fits inside the measurements of the stage.   

The Street Art Area is located in the green Garden Area. The stage is slightly elevated from the ground and 4 x 6 metres in size. There will be access to basic electric power supply on the stage. The festival will not provide any other tech, technician, or backline. If needed, the performer can bring their own sound equipment. Please note that there will not be any storage facilities for instruments or other gear in the Street Art Area.

No fees are paid for Street Art Area performances. The performers will be responsible for arranging their own accident insurance cover.
