Northwest Folklife invites YOU - musicians, dancers, community groups, artists, comedians, storytellers, culture bearers, and instructors to participate in the 51st annual Northwest Folklife Festival. The past two years have presented a myriad of challenges as well as opportunities, and we look forward to exploring how we can best serve artists and participants in our region through this flagship event. While we missed gathering and celebrating in person, doing so virtually it provided us with the chance to bring our program to those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend, and expanded our reach globally.
That said, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that we will once again be gathering on Seattle Center grounds to celebrate the 51st annual Northwest Folklife Festival May 27-31, 2022. This will be our first hybrid Festival, so we welcome applications to participateboth in person or virtually.
We are following all COVID safety protocols and state and city guidelines and will keep you all updated on how this may impact the Festival.
For any questions, please contact the programming hotline at programming@nwfolklife.org, or leave a message at 206-684-4189 and someone will return your call as soon as possible.
Deadline: December 31, 2021
Thank you for your role in making the Northwest Folklife Festival the place to celebrate the arts, cultures, and traditions of our region. We look forward to celebrating with you next spring!
