Call for Submissions!

HELLO!! We’re gearing up for our next show, and wanted to remind you to SEND US YOUR WORK! Our Submissions are free and always open. We will begin looking at work for our next show around JUNE 30TH, so if you would like to be considered for our next show, PLEASE SEND IT BY THEN! You can send us work via email, or via our submission form! 

We’re looking for Performance Art, Still Art, and Moving Media Art (film & animation, for example) that is dark, weird, gross, gothic, horrifying, freaky, has that vibe that sends chills up your spine, or a whole host of other synonyms for the strange and unusual. There's no time minimum on work, but the max is about 20 minutes for moving media and 10-15 minutes for performers, depending on the show. We're going to stick with our two night spectacular for the foreseeable future, so Performing Artists should keep that in mind! We cater to the midwest - so your work needs to have some kind of connection to here.

You get to keep any funds you make via our merch tables before/after the shows, and we split the profits per project after covering any extra expenses. Whatever work we don’t use for one show will be looked at again for future shows (that’s the fun part about rolling submissions).

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an email.
