Call for workshop proposals
June 17, 2025
Share your idea for a workshop during the 2025-26 season!
DEADLINE: July 20, 11:59 PM EDT
Each year, the Music Gallery presents a series of workshops that feature community members sharing skills and expertise. Past workshops have included lessons on music-related software and hardware demonstrations, interactive/collaborative activities, career-planning, and more. In order to expand these offerings we are inviting proposals from community members who wish to present a workshop during the Music Gallery’s 2025-26 season.
We want to hear from community members who have unique skills related to music/sound, as well as some experience facilitating workshops or similar skill-development programs. Selected facilitators will receive a fee, and work with our programming and marketing team to deliver their workshop.
- Workshops are one-off events, each running for 90-120 minutes
- Registration is free for Music Gallery members, or a nominal fee for non-members.
- Capacity is determined by the format and scope of the workshop, past workshop capacity has been anywhere from 15-80 people
- While workshop topics may be specialized, the workshop itself should be open to participants with little to no experience with a given topic.
