Cannonball Festival’s 2022 Open Call for full-length shows is OPEN NOW!

Running from September 1-30, 2022, Cannonball Festival will take place at both the Maas Building and the Icebox Project Space. The festival offers a cost-sharing buy-in model, in which participants can pay a flat fee for production services, staff, marketing, and space rental. The festival also offers opportunities for co-presentation, and at least three performance projects will be selected for the BIPOC New Work Presentation track, which offers additional marketing support and a $2,500 stipend for artists who identify as Black, Indigenous or People of Color.
Applications will be accepted until April 15.

For more information, artists, producers, and supporters can visit www.cannonballfestival.org/opencall.

Cannonball Festival presents risk-taking independent artists in back-to-back performances next to delicious lounge spaces, fostering creative collisions and community conversation. Cannonball disrupts traditional arts presenting models by centering artist-to-artist curation, pooling and redistributing resources to provide small-scale, high-impact production opportunities for wild, under-resourced performances, and building a sustainable arts ecosystem from the ground up. In its inaugural year in 2021, Cannonball produced 28 unique works over 21 days for 150 performances in a single venue during the Philadelphia Fringe, welcoming over 2500 audience members and winning three overall Fringie Awards, along with 12 weekly audience picks.
