The snow has just started to fly, but it’s never to early to start thinking about summer — especially when it comes to Grand Rapids’ Festival of the Arts.

The annual volunteer-driven festival takes place June 7-9, 2019 in downtown Grand Rapids, and event organizers announced this week that applications are now open for performers seeking to play stages at the three-day affair.
Bands, solo artists, dance groups and more will once again light up six main stages and five “intimate pop-up stages” for 2019, so there are hundreds of slots available for performers.
Applicants must be residents of Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Newaygo, Montcalm, Muskegon, Barry or Ionia counties, and there’s a $20 non-refundable application fee.
The deadline to apply is Feb. 15, 2019, with acts notified of their performance slots in early March.
