Calling all musicians.

The Arts Council of New Westminster is seeking performers to take part in a variety of summer programs.

Small musical acts – including solos, duos and full bands – are invited to apply for gigs around town for the arts council’s regular programming and special events.

The arts council will have busking performances running Thursdays to Sundays throughout the summer. Some of the possible performance opportunities include the Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Festival, Fridays on Front, Canada Day at the Quay, Music by the River and Uptown Unplugged.

All genres of music will be considered.

Performers will be adjudicated by a panel of professional performing artists, arts educators and administrators and community members. Successful applicants will earn an honorarium.
