Artists: Submit your Work

Artist Submission Form

Our goal is to assist artists in creating financially sustainable careers in their field. We work with a diverse network of artists, connecting them with the right performances with presenters, venues and events. At MELA Arts Connect, we are cognizant of the needs of presenters and of artists. We take the time to understand your work and match you to the right paid performance opportunities, creating connections with presenters, and audiences that you may not have engaged with previously. MELA Arts Connect will not replace your management or booking agent, if you already have one, but rather strives to supplement their work by offering performances that would be appropriate for your work.

If you are interested in being considered for performances booked by MELA Arts Connect, please fill out the submission form below. If you perform in multiple formats / bands, please submit a separate submission for each.

We work with all forms of music and dance that have a connection to the performing arts of the Indian subcontinent.

If you want to be a part of our network, fill out the form here.
