ARTIST APPLICATION FORM

Thanks for taking the time to express interest in being part of the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival 2023!

Attracting in excess of 55,000 people each year,  the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival has been Waikato's premier annual arts event for well over 20 years. Using predominantly the unique performance platform of the international award winning Hamilton Gardens (plus key venues in the Hamilton City CBD), HGAF is a truly magical experience for artists and audience alike.

Our next festival is scheduled for 24th Feb to 5 Mar next year and we couldn’t be more excited to hear from you.

Submissions will be open until 15th July. We will be reviewing all applications in due course and will endeavour to get back to you at earliest convenience.
