For artists new to soundpedro

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.

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.

  • 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.
