ENDADA 2019: MBA Music and Arts Festival

ENDADA is the Music and Arts Festival for Montgomery Bell Academy, showcasing and celebrating emerging and professional artists in the Nashville community, including MBA students, alumni, faculty, families, and friends. The festival takes place on Saturday, April 27th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Sloane quadrangle on the MBA Campus. The event is free and open to the public, featuring live music, hands-on creative activities, improv, interactive arts, and local food trucks. Artists are responsible for their own sales transactions and keep all proceeds.

Each artist is allocated approximately 10' x 10' of space and can bring as many pieces of art that fit in the designated space. Artist spaces are located in the colonnades, under tents, and in open areas. MBA provides artist signage, and electricity can be arranged upon request. Artist Hospitality Volunteers will provide booth coverage, water, a light snack, and information. Festival attendees receive a festival guide with a map and artist names.

Application deadline is March 8, 2019 at midnight CST. The non-refundable application fee is $10 per table. Applicants must submit a short artist bio (no more than 5 sentences) and three digital images of artwork representing the quality, average price points, average size, and style of work to be exhibited. All works must be original; commercial reproductions are not permitted, though a small number of limited, signed, high-quality reproductions may be allowed with permission. Images must be high resolution and accurately represent the artist's work. Invitations will be issued March 14, 2019, with a deadline to accept by March 21, 2019.
