March 9, 2010 | Apply Online to Showcase at Contact East and Ontario Contact Today!
Contact East and Ontario Contact are pleased to announce showcasing applications are now being accepted online at www.iwanttoshowcase.ca. The launch of the new website allows touring performing artists in music, theatre and dance to apply for both events and simplifies the submission process. Contact East 2010 is taking place in Antigonish, NS from September 23 – 26 and Ontario Contact is in Parry Sound, ON from October 27 – 30.
Sue Urquhart is the Executive Director of the Atlantic Presenters Association (APA) and Chair of Contact East 2010. Sue and the APA staff collaborated with the Ontario Presenting Network and Ontario Contact to develop the new website. “One of the goals for both Ontario Contact & Contact East 2010 is to add value for artists participating in these events. Part of that is managing the administration of showcasing applications in an organized, efficient and thorough way. When artists upload their information it generates a database we will use as a resource for marketing, communications and planning purposes including jurying and scheduling for the showcase and conference.”
Contact East and Ontario Contact engage artists, presenters, workshop leaders, and various government and arts service agencies in showcase performances, workshops and an arts industry marketplace. The deadline to apply for a showcase for both events is in two parts with applications due March 30, 2010 and support material due April 30, 2010. Visit the website for more information www.iwanttoshowcase.ca.
