The San Pedro ♥ Festival of the Arts is a free family event, in the past featuring Dance, Music & Visual Arts/Crafts Booths. This year, our 15th, we approach it in a new way due to the dimensions of the recent Pandemic. The festival was again awarded a Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles Festival Grant + a grant to reintroduce the festival to the community. Sept 12 will be the re-introduction indoors at Alvas Showroom and Sept 19 will be outside on a large 32 x 28 stage in Anderson Park. We will be recording both performances to share on the internet and all performances will be live and free to the public, but with restricted audiences. Because of the additional grant, we will also be able to pay professional companies for the Alvas performance, something we have not been able to do in the past. There is also pay for the outside festival as usual for all professional companies.

We are interested in all dance forms performed by professional companies (usually about 20 selected, but may be less this year) including traditional ballet and modern as well as ethnic dance forms, tap, fusion, jazz, and hip-hop. Each day also includes 2-3 pre-professional companies or schools. All performances will be live. As LA County rules go now, any not fully vaccinated in your group will have to wear masks, and fully vaccinated will not whether inside or out. Any not fully vaccinated will be asked for tests 2 weeks or less before performances. At Alvas, there is some lighting and projection available, but outside it is daytime and no projections possible. 

You can see more about previous festivals at triartsp.com. Videos from past festivals include: https://vimeo.com/202166808 (2016), https://vimeo.com/202169509 (2014 and 2015).

Last year we only used videos the companies provided, and we may have one short encore period in late summer.
Honorarium for all professional companies selected.

Early Deadline July 5, 2021
Final Deadline July 15, 2021

Professional companies length: 10 to 20 minutes

We will have different works each day.
