Artist Spotlight Program Proposals

California Presenters annually seeks proposals for exceptional new performing arts projects available for touring in upcoming seasons. We are currently accepting proposals for new performing arts projects touring in the 2013-14 season.

California Presenters’ Artist Spotlight was launched in 2006 as the New Works Tour Support Program. The Artist Spotlight has evolved as a unique opportunity for artists to engage directly with California Presenter members in a focused, intimate environment that allows for robust conversation and exchange. The Artist Spotlight Session is a pitch process that has independently generated several successful tours as well as developed substantive relationships between artists and presenters.

Representatives of the top ten ranked projects will be invited to share their artistic vision and projects to California Presenters membership as part of the "Artist Spotlight" session on May 31, 2012, at the Artist Information Exchange (AIE) conference in Los Angeles, California. The chance to get a distinguished group of presenters in one place with their undivided attention does not present itself very often. Several successful tours have been generated through this process. 

Artists, managers, agents, tour producers, presenters, or any combination thereof are encouraged to submit a proposal for consideration. Both out-of-state and California artists are encouraged to apply.

Proposals deadline has been extended to: February 10, 2012.
