Content approach & storytelling focus
Proposals should demonstrate an understanding of the festival’s content pillars and storytelling priorities, which include:
● At the festival: live art, performances, vendors, crowds, and atmosphere
● Community connections: volunteers, artists, attendees, and local impact
● History & legacy: Arts Fest as a long-standing cultural tradition
● Accessibility & inclusion: mobility access, sensory-friendly spaces, and welcoming experiences for all
Creators are encouraged to share how their content would reflect these themes through their own lens and lived experience.
As the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts celebrates its 60th anniversary, creators should weave elements of legacy, reflection, and celebration into their content, highlighting what has made Arts Fest a cherished community tradition for six decades.
Creators should be prepared to post content both during this year’s festival week and in the months leading up to the 2027 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. This approach allows content captured on-site to support immediate coverage as well as future festival promotion.
Due Date: Interested creators should complete the application form outlined below by April 21, 2026. Only complete proposals will be considered.
