Byron Shire Council staff say applications are now open for local artists to join the line-up in Byron Bay this New Year’s Eve (NYE).
Marisa Snow, Acting Arts and Culture Officer, said, ‘Organisers of Soul Street are looking for a wide range of family-friendly performers, musicians and roving artists to perform across multiple sites and stages’.
‘There are so many fantastic artists in the Northern Rivers, and it would be great to see a higher representation of local talent this NYE.
‘This is a paid opportunity and all artists, irrespective of experience, are welcome to apply,’ Ms Snow said.
The media release continues, ‘NYE celebrations in Byron Bay are spread across two areas – Jonson Street and Dening Park’.
‘The activities in Jonson Street start at 4pm with roving performers and kids’ activations in a family-filled program aimed at younger families.
‘The main music stage at Dening Park kicks off at 6pm with a series of rolling acts throughout the evening, including the popular silent disco which takes over the foreshore.
‘Applications for the delivery of workshops, arts and crafts, and kids’ activations are welcome’.
Artists can apply at the Soul Street website by 14 November.
