Are you an arts presenter, a performer or are involved in any way in the presenting of performances anywhere in Ohio? Then you’ll want to be at the Ohio Arts Professionals Network (OAPN) 2021 Conference, taking place in Cleveland at Playhouse Square October 18-20. The event will feature an exhibit hall, industry meetups, networking and 24 juried showcases of all genres at the Mimi Ohio Theatre where presenters can scope out potential talent bookings.
The deadline to submit for a showcase is coming up — Monday June 21 — so if you’re an interested performer, get on the move. More information about how to submit is available at oapn.org/2021-conference. This year’s conference is also offering special opportunities for self- or unrepresented Ohio artists who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or disabled to attend the conference and showcase in person for free.
If you are an agent, artist or booker of talent in Ohio, now is the perfect time to learn more about OAPN and become a member.
