Call for Artists
Crocodile River Music proudly presents the 3rd cycle of Worcester's Got African Talent! This one-night showcase will feature six African artists from the Greater Worcester area in Fall 2024.
About the event
We seek artists who self-identify as African in all creative mediums, styles, and levels of expertise. A committee of community members and experts will select 3 experienced artists and 3 emerging artists who may be developing their practice.
Selected artists will receive a $750 stipend to share their art and stories at a free, in-person event at Crocodile River Music. Worcester's Got African Talent celebrates and showcases talent—it’s not a competition.
Past participants said this event helped them make connections and advance their creative careers. Will you be next?
