4Culture is pleased to announce a “Call for Artists” for the 2005 King County Performance Network. King County-based artists, ensembles and arts organizations are invited to apply; the deadline for artist applications is Monday, Nov. 1, 2004.

The King County Performance Network was created in 1997 to link contemporary artists and organizations with suburban arts commissions and councils, their performance venues and their audiences.

For the past seven years, the King County Performance Network has brought contemporary performances to theater venues in suburban communities throughout King County. In 2005, the King County Performance Network will focus on site-specific performance.

Artists are encouraged to explore nontraditional sites or unexpected locations in one or multiple suburban and/or rural King County communities and to create work that is specific or relevant to that locale. These performances may be publicized in advance or they may be designed to catch audiences by surprise.

More information on artist eligibility and the application process is available in the 2005 King County Performance Network Guidelines and Application, available online at www.4culture.org or by calling (206) 296.7580.
