REGISTRATION

Seen: CLE operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration opens six weeks prior to each event. Once the combined runtime of submitted works reaches approximately one hour, additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist. If a participating artist withdraws, artists on the waitlist will be invited to participate in the order their registrations were received. If space does not become available, waitlisted artists will be offered a spot in the next scheduled Seen: CLE event, provided they are still available to participate.

• Registration form opens 6 weeks prior to Seen: CLE (July 4th)

• Registration form must be completed by August 8th.

• Participants must email your 1 track music file and marketing image to apps@themovementproject.org by August 8th.

VIDEO & PHOTOS

• Seen: CLE is designed as a community platform for artists to share their work, creative process, and ideas. While TMP does not provide financial compensation for participation, each artist will receive video footage and photos of their work for personal and promotional use. (artists can anticipate video/photo files approximately a month post event.)

• Artists retain full ownership and intellectual property rights to their work.

• Artists are welcome to share information about upcoming projects, distribute business cards, promote their work, or accept donations following the post showing casual gathering.
