ANT Fest Submissions

Are you ready to expose yourself to New York City?
We’re now accepting submissions for our fifth annual ANT Fest, a month-long festival of all new talent showcasing fresh material from New York’s most exciting emerging artists (for the 2011 lineup, click here). This year's Fest runs from June 1 to 28.
Ars Nova is on the prowl for talented artists who see the future of live entertainment and want the chance to show off their skills. We’re interested in edgy, offbeat, charged performances that tell a story, make us laugh, showcase musicians with a vibrant new sound, or blur the boundaries between theater, music and comedy. If it can be performed live on stage, we’re interested!
Think you’ve got the skills?
Send us a completed application form, a description of your evening (one page max); and a script, CD or DVD if you have one.
A range of unique submissions will each be given a night to perform in Ars Nova’s intimate 99-seat theater and the opportunity to be a part of artist-driven parties and events throughout the festival. Please refer to the Additional Information section on the application form for further important Fest logistics and details.
Applications must be postmarked by Wednesday, February 8. Artists chosen for the festival will be notified by April 6.
