There are many ways local and visiting artists can become involved with the Festival.

Local artists can apply for an Artist Card which enables you to engage with the Festival at our best rate - by seeing shows, attending forums, discussions, workshops, and by relaxing with staff and visiting artists at our Artist Lounge in October.

Visiting Artists can access useful information within this website that will help you make the most of your time in Melbourne and hopefully answer some of the questions you have before arriving.

The Melbourne International Arts Festival is a curated program, visit our submissions area for more information.
