PARTICIPATION
The Rogue Performance Festival 2005 is an open, non-juried, festival. The Rogue is committed to an artist’s right to produce work without the judgment of a jury process and without fear of censure. The only constraints on material or content are the consideration of the health and safety of all those involved, including staff, artists, volunteers and audiences. As an applicant you are given the choice of two different gallery categories within which to participate, each with a separate application process:

ROGUE GALLERY APPLICATION

Successful ROGUE GALLERY applicants are assigned to a participating gallery. Gallery participants will have their works exhibited at the assigned gallery for the ENTIRE month of March 2006.

Any artist is eligible to apply but only ONE application can be submitted per artist. All applications will be accepted on a first received first accepted process, and must be received before October 30^th, 2005.

All applications must have an artist’s name, primary and secondary contact.
