2010 Northwest Folklife Festival Online Performer Application

The Northwest Folklife Festival focuses on the traditions and community arts of the Pacific Northwest: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, Montana, and British Columbia. Applications are not accepted from other parts of the country unless they are related to special programs or specific Festival themes. Because we are a free community festival, we do not pay performers.

Applications are due by 5pm on Monday, November 2.
