ALMOST-FRINGE FESTIVAL Call for Venues & Artists

ALMOST-FRINGE FESTIVAL Call for Venues & Artists

Website: http://www.visitmendocino.com

 Fort Bragg, CA, Unknown

Loosely based on the international Fringe Art movement, this month-long festival will celebrate all the arts happening in April 2017 within the main travel corridors of Mendocino County. We encourage venues of all sizes to partner with performing and visual artists, and arts organizations, in innovative and unexpected ways to create site-specific art “happenings” that are FUN, EXCITING and/or DARING… From traditional to cutting-edge, Almost Fringe welcomes your participation!

Dates:
The festival will last the entire month of April 2017. Any event happening within the month would be eligible for inclusion in this inaugural festival and would benefit from VMC’s marketing efforts. Additionally, we would like to emphasize each region of the county one weekend per month.

Currently, our tentative weekends are lining up as follows:
April 7, 8, 9 North Coast: Albion, Little River, Mendocino, Caspar, Fort Bragg, Westport
April 14, 15, 16 101 Corridor: Hopland, Ukiah, Calpella, Willits, Laytonville, Leggett
April 21, 22, 23 128 Corridor: Navarro, Philo, Boonville, Yorkville
April 28, 29, 30 South Coast: Gualala, Point Arena, Manchester

During each of these weekends, one particular region will have many events happening so as to provide convenient packages for out-of-town visitors, offering a variety of options they can enjoy within a single area.

To Participate:
Participation in this event is free! All you need to do is complete the online registration form by no later than January 20th. Applications can also be accessed by going to our Mendocino County Tourism Commission website. Be sure to include the name of your event, participating entities, date and time of event or performance, and venue’s physical address. If tickets are to be sold, include the price of the event and contact information.

We will work with the Arts Council of Mendocino County, which has volunteered its online ticket-sales platform at ArtsMendocino.org to facilitate purchases of ticket packages. Please note, any ticket processing fee will be paid directly by venue/artist. VMC will also reach out to lodging providers in order to have lodging specials created.

Deadline for entries is January 20, 2017.
