Note: Submission of this application does not guarantee selection. Performers will be reviewed based on theme fit, performance type, schedule needs, space, technical requirements, and available event budget.

Roots & Rhythm Night Market is a community-centered series with its first inaugural event, and currently has a modest performance budget. We deeply respect the time, preparation, and cultural contributions of every performer. While we may not be able to offer full performance rates at this time, limited stipends may be available based on performance type, group size, set length, and event needs. 

In addition to available stipends, selected performers may receive promotional support, social media features, community visibility, vendor and partner connections, and consideration for future paid event opportunities.

Thank you for considering working with us as we continue to grown support within the community through donations and sponsorships!
