SHORTFORM

April 25th - 27th

An anthology of live art that gets to the point!

MCA's Mixed Media show SHORTFORM, returns this April 25th - 27th. At SHORTFORM artists from all over the creative spectrum showcase original live performances that are funny, absurd, experimental, and, above all, short.

Each performance is 10 minutes or less in this tapas-style celebration of multi-disciplinary local work.  For SHORTFORM, we are looking for applicants that highlight  "Movement" in some way in their performance.

All artists will receive a stipend of $200. Maelstrom's space, materials, and tools will be available for rehearsals, meetings, and creation.

Deadline for applications is March 31. 

 

Guidelines for MCA's Curation

  • A majority of participating artists are non-white/BIPOC
  • A majority of participating artists are non-cismale
  • At least 20% of participating artists have not worked with MCA in the past

    • This evolving criteria is derived from the values in our Anti-racism, Accessibility and Inclusion statement and goals.
