CALL FOR ARTISTS
Hello artists! This page offers exciting opportunities for artists to showcase their work at the Holland Area Arts Council and other area events.
LEVITATE: Holland Arts Festival
Date: February 21 | 2:00–10:00 PM
Location: Herrick Library, Park Theatre, Holland Armory | Food trucks
You’re invited to LEVITATE—a vibrant celebration of creative expression and local talent. For one unforgettable day, Herrick Library, Park Theater, and the Holland Armory will transform into dynamic stages showcasing the beating heart of our community through music, storytelling, poetry, dance, and art. Whether you're stepping into the spotlight or soaking in the inspiration, come and be uplifted by your friends and neighbors.
This event is part of HDL’s Lift Every Voice (LEV) initiative, a season set aside to celebrate the power of voice—in song, in story, and in community.
Want to perform? We’re looking for musicians, dancers, poets, spoken word artists, storytellers, and visual artists – soloists, bands, troops, or groups of any age - ready to share what inspires them. Applications with a demo or art sample will be accepted through February 4th.
