    Street Performers needed for Longest Days Street Festival in Whitehorse, Yukon

    Longest Days Street Festival

    Hello all:

    My name is Eric Epstein and I am the Artistic Director of the Yukon Arts Centre in Whitehorse.

    This summer I will be booking street entertainment for a brand new festival taking place for the whole month of July in downtown Whitehorse. This is a joint venture between the arts community and the downtown business association.

    If you are interested in being considered for the festival, please send promotional materials and video AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to:

    Eric Epstein,
    Longest Days c/o Yukon Arts Centre
    Box 16,
    Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 5X9

    (For Candians: Xpresspost is probably the swiftest and most efficient way of getting materials to me.)

    You can also e-mail me at ad@yac.ca, but know that I will want to see a complete performance on video.

    Funding for this project has come through very late, so time is of the essence when submitting materials. I hope to make all my decisions by the end of May.

    We will be providing airfare, accommodation, per diems and a small fee to supplement the "hat".
    Please note: Yukon audiences are very generous and hats have been as high as $500 for some performers in the past.

    I am looking for the extraordinary, the unusual, the bizarre, the hillarious. The sublime and the ridiculous.

    Please note: I will not be booking street musicians.
