The 19th Annual Belfast Poetry Festival seeks creative proposals from poets, performers, artists, and workshop facilitators interested in participating in this year’s festival, which takes place October 18-20, 2024 in downtown Belfast, Maine. Founded in 2004, the Belfast Poetry Festival is an all-arts festival with poetry as the driving force, a feast of poetry, community, and artistic possibility. For the 2024 festival, we are seeking proposals for poetry readings, performing arts experiences, collaborative multi-genre experiences, craft workshops, visual arts installations, circus arts, and other community-centered activities celebrating creative expression.
