FRESH FRUIT FESTIVAL SEEKS SUBMISSIONS FOR July 2011 FestivalFestival of LGBT Arts & Culture
Deadline is February 15, 2011
Call for Submissions
The 2011 Fresh Fruit Summer Festival, New York, USA is now accepting submissions. Your work should be LGBT themed or have a relevance to the LGBT community. The festival is seeking Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender plays, comics, dancers, singers, performance artists & film to present their own material. No submission fee.
Fresh Fruit is intended not only to be a celebration of LGBT culture, but also a continuing source of support for LGBT artists. By submitting or presenting work at the Fresh Fruit Festival we welcome you as a “Fruitie,” to a community of supportive artists and patrons. Each year the work considered most exciting by the audiences is awarded Festival awards (Fruits of Distinction).
DIY - This is what Fresh Fruit expects of you
‘You donate your talent to the Fresh Fruit adventure. You will also supply anything you need to make your show notable. That includes musicians, set, director, actors, sound and lighting design, special machinery, video or other equipment. In short, you put up the show the way you envision it. We do not ask for any control over your copyright — only that we are mentioned in any program where the work we have presented is shown.
You must publicize your show and work to secure a suitable audience. It’s your proven supporters who are most likely to attend and you must keep them informed. By virtue of being in the festival and cross promotion with the other shows your group will build upon its support list.’
For more details and application please go to http://www.freshfruitfestival.com/ or e-mail our Artistic Director Frank Calo at artisticdirector@freshfruitfestival.com.
