Songs In The Snow: A Vintage Christmas is an annual, free, family-friendly, holiday event partnership between Steveston Historical Society, the Richmond Arts Coalition, and the Steveston Museum & Visitor Centre. The event takes place on the first three Saturday afternoons in December. Each day features holiday-themed performances from 4pm-6pm outdoors at Town Square Park, next to the Steveston Museum (3811 Moncton Street, Richmond, BC).

We will also feature performances in a series of festive online videos (See: https://youtu.be/0tk-2DcudYs?si=6-C7_5FR1x6jFm1s ).

We will pay performers (typically musicians, but please to pitch us anything else you have in mind) professional rates to deliver 25-30 minute sets of entertaining, festive, winter spirit. Does that sound like you?

We are also looking for pitches from visual artists with ideas for how they might contribute to the festive event. A festive craft for attendees to engage in? Live art creation? We want to hear from you!

Songs in the Snow is a family-friendly holiday event. If a performer, what would you be performing that fits that theme? If a visual artist, what would you create to fit that theme? *

If a performer, are you able to perform a 25-30 minute set of that material? If not, what length? *

If we added a set of pre-recorded performances for online viewing via YouTube, do you have a recording set-up and are interested in being considered for that? (The performance can be the same material you would be performing live.) *

(Optional) How much would you expect to be paid for this? (Your answer won't reduce your pay, but will let us know if you're beyond our budget. Which is okay! All performers are being paid out of a generous $6000 BC Arts Council grant)
