SPEAK OUT STAGE 2022
Presented by the Cleveland Foundation
The Speak Out Stage at Pride in the CLE™ has historically been the space where we have a chance to hear from members in the community - activists, organizers, poets and artists alike. The goal of the stage is to get amped up, be moved, or move someone. It is definitely a high energy space, with the goal to captivate and inspire our audience with your passion, in whatever form that takes!
Performance slots are 5 minutes in length, if more time is needed please communicate that within the performance description. If chosen, we will do our best to accommodate. Applicants may be asked to provide a sample of your work. Applications closed April 29th, 2022 and performers will be notified no later than May 15th, 2022. Please note spots are limited and we cannot guarantee all applicants will be selected to perform.
