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:
