City’s Arts in the Park Performing Arts Series Invites Community to Apply To Perform

Arts in the Park performances will take place from June 1 through August 31 at the Glen Huntington Band Shell in the city’s Civic Area.

This year, local artists and performing arts professionals are encouraged to apply and be a part of Arts in the Park! The city is bringing back smaller performances and we’re calling them “Community Spotlight Performances.” These shows are for artists or smaller performing arts organizations in Boulder who wish to perform outdoors at the bandshell.

All performances must be appropriate for all ages in our community and follow the city’s park rules and guidelines. Community Spotlight Performances will be free to the community. To encourage submissions, the city will waive permit fees for applicants. Those interested can see details, learn about stipends for qualified organizations, and apply at boulderartsinthepark.com.

“In 2021 when we started Arts in the Park, we had over 80 performances from the arts and cultural community to help restart the performing arts in Boulder during the pandemic,” said Community Access Coordinator Rosa Wright. “This summer we again want to encourage and promote our amazing performing arts community by providing the bandshell.”

In addition to the spotlight performances, the city will continue to have the larger arts performances, called “Signature Events.” The Signature Event performances will include four Boulder-based arts organizations. Here is our schedule, so save the dates for these amazing performances!

• Boulder Ballet – June 1 and 2
• Boulder Symphony – July 4
• Boulder Opera – August 3
• Boulder Philharmonic – August 24

The city will post information on Signature Event and Community Spotlight performance dates, details, and ticket information soon at boulderartsinthepark.com.
