Street Art Area

Calling Performers for the Street Art Area at World Village Festival!

Is performing your passion? Does your group have an act ready to hit the stage, or is your band’s latest song waiting for its live debut? Apply to perform at World Village Festival’s Street Art Area! The application period runs from February 13 to April 14, 2025.

The Street Art Area at World Village Festival is where creativity knows no bounds. The stage is open to all forms of expression, whether it’s music, dance, circus, theatre, poetry, improv, Tai Chi performances, or anything in between. We are especially looking for street artists and amateur groups to showcase their talent. Each performance will be limited to 25 minutes. We welcome all performances that are tasteful, safe, and fit within the stage’s size.

Located in the lush Garden Area, the Street Art Area features a slightly elevated stage that measures 4 x 6 meters. Basic electric power will be available on the stage, but the festival will not provide any additional tech, technicians, or backline. Performers are welcome to bring their own sound equipment. Please note that there will be no changing rooms or storage facilities for instruments or equipment in the Street Art Area.

The festival does not offer payment for performances in the Street Art Area. Performers are responsible for securing their own accident insurance.

World Village Festival is a discrimination-free space committed to promoting equality, justice, and non-discrimination. Everyone is welcome, and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment. Performers must also commit to upholding these values.
