Omnitrans

Calling All Performing Artists!

December 18, 2023

Do you have good rhymes, rhythm, one liners that leave the crowd howling, or just a few card tricks up your sleeve?

Omnitrans is seeking performing artists (musicians, dancers, bands, poets, comedians, magicians, and other performers) for a community art event on April 27, 2024. As part of the Inland SoCal Creative Corps grant, Omnitrans and the city of Fontana are hosting an art program celebrating performances from local artists in our communities.

If you are interested in performing, fill out our survey and submit a video showing a sample performance for consideration in the performance. Three to four individuals/groups will be selected, and they will receive a $500 stipend.  For more details see below and/or click the link.
