THINGS TO KNOW & DO BEFORE APPLYING:

For artists new to soundpedro

• Visit the Participate page: https://www.soundpedro.org/participate
• It is important that artists understand that soundpedro is a sound art event and not a music event.
• It is helpful to review the soundpedro website to become familiar with the event and venue:
  Explore past soundpedro events here: https://www.soundpedro.org/archives
  Learn about the location here: https://www.soundpedro.org/about-location
• If you are local, we encourage you to visit Angels Gate Cultural Center in person.

For all artists

• Artists may propose projects for these modes of presentation:
• Installation - fixed location
• Performance - fixed location
• Roaming presentation
• Production of work and/or travel expenses are the responsibility of the artist. We are sometimes able to provide accommodations for artists traveling from out of town (200+ miles). FLOOD will write letters of recommendation for those artists seeking funds elsewhere.
• soundpedro will not furnish any equipment. Artists are responsible for all computers, projectors, speakers, microphones, power strips, generators, cables etc. soundpedro will provide site(s) and, in some cases, power. Sites not close to buildings may not have power available. If you have questions, please check with Marco 562-413-5868 before submitting your proposal.
• Set up is on the day of the event starting at 10AM. Tear down is that night, immediately after the event (10PM - 11PM). Artists cannot begin set up before the time and date, or come the day after for tear down. Approach this as if it were a pop-up.
• Artists or artist representatives must be onsite to install, de-install, and host the installation for the duration of the event (10AM - 11PM).
• Keep in mind that Angels Gate Cultural Center can be subject to high winds and low temperatures. Please ensure that your proposed work is stable and wind tolerant. It gets dark after sunset. Artists should incorporate lighting elements if necessary.
• FLOOD's Proposal Review
  FLOOD will review your proposal and will email you our decision.
  If we have questions, we may contact you via the email or phone number in your submission.
• Terms & Conditions
  Production expenses are the responsibility of the artist. FLOOD will write letters of recommendation for those artists seeking funds elsewhere.
  If you are invited to be a participant in soundpedro, your name, likeness, as well as your work may be used for publicity purposes and materials related to this event, including, but not limited to, press releases, advertising, social media, publications, recordings, and soundpedro related websites.
  By submitting your application electronically, you authorize the use of your name, likeness and work for the above-mentioned purpose. Please note that all other personal information (address, telephone numbers, etc.) is strictly for internal use.

Non-acceptance, in many cases, is not reflective of the quality of the artwork submitted. Reasons for non-acceptance may include:

• The submission did not follow the guidelines.
• The number of submissions relative to the amount and type of space available.
• The work did not appear to be completely realized.
• As the event grows, we are not be able to invite artists back with the same frequency for the same type of work, as in the past. However, we encourage returning applicants to consider submitting something in a new category.
