What We’re Looking For:

1. Independent Film Makers, Artists and Musicians of ANY genre, medium and
discipline to showcase, promote and/or sell their work. The goal of this event is to
promote artistic diversity; we want to include as much work of artistic merit as possible.

Examples:

  • Film: Animation, Documentary, Experimental, Short Piece, Feature, Music Video etc.
  • Art: Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Graphic Design, Illustration, Mixed Media,
  • Fashion, Jewelry, Literary (Comics, Poetry, Books)etc.
  • Performance Art: Dance, Spoken Word, Movement, Mimes, Jugglers, Skaters, BMX etc.
  • Music: Rock, Hip Hop, Acoustic, Electronic, Hard Core, Jazz, Blues, Folk, Punk, Experimental, etc.

    2. The festival is located at a variety of theatres, galleries, and music venues throughout
    the downtown core of Windsor, Ontario. Involved talent must be able to access the area in and around the festival’s operating dates.

    3. This is a grassroots festival. We are trying to build a self-sufficient system that
    continually creates opportunity and exposure for all of the artists involved. With the
    success of each festival, we will be able to acquire what we need to efficiently run events
    that are increasingly beneficial to you, as our efforts are focused toward the success of the
    FAM exhibitors themselves. We want creative talent interested in developing the festival
    with us for betterment of our community’s dynamic and exciting cultural scene.

    How It Works:

    1. This festival is designed to allow you, the creative talents, the chance to promote
    yourselves and sell your work to a diverse array of fans and culture supporters, all in a
    large scale, week long event. The festival takes 0% commission from the sales of artist’s
    work.

    2. Submission packages can be e-mailed to: famfest@live.com (Just give us a link to your work and you contact information)

    Benefits Of Being Part Of The F.A.M.:

    1. The opportunity to sell and promote your work to a new/large diverse crowd.
    2. Networking opportunities with a vast array of independent creative talents.
    3. Gain industry knowledge and experience.
    4. Guaranteed promotion through our website, local and national media, myspace,
    facebook, twitter, blog, posters, programs, flyers and word of mouth.
    5. Artists involved receive priority in future events (non-commission art shows, paying
    film screenings and music gigs).
    6. It’s a great party!
