Main Stage Mission Statement:

The Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival is a high quality arts event. The accent and focus of the Festival is on the fine art work exhibited during this exciting weekend. The entertainment on our main stage, situated in a lovely grove of redwoods, is to add ambiance and enhance the wonderful experience of the art event itself.

How to Apply:
Entertainers, performers, and musicians are encouraged to apply for a performance spot on the Main Stage. We hire a variety of entertainment. We have our own sound system and sound person. Entertainers are paid a stipend of $125, total, regardless of the number in the group, for a thirty minute set. Each performer/group is allowed to perform only one set. Performers can sell their products, in the stage area only, for 15 minutes after they perform.

Please submit promotional material, reviews, photos, CD's, tapes, and videos to the address listed below. The deadline for main stage performance material submissions is April 1st.
