Submit your proposals for BEMAC Unplugged shows in the second half of 2025 as part of BEMAC's Artistic Program 'A Stage Called Home' by Monday, May 26.
The invitation is open to individuals, bands, collectives, community groups and non-profit organisations. BEMAC will partner with artists and presenters to deliver the best possible show based on their proposals, supporting all technical, promotional, logistical and planning aspects of their shows.
Proposals are only being accepted in this round for the BEMAC Unplugged stream, a series of low-key shows that will showcase diverse talent and invite cross-cultural collaboration, in an intimate setting that aims to recreate the vibe of BEMAC’s shows at Yungaba. These will take place at venues in South-East Queensland, in a relaxed format with minimal technical resources.
Three programming principles underpin BEMAC's Artistic Program:
Courageous in creativity – We aim to support artists at all career and development stages, whose creative and professional aspirations are solidly grounded on the creation of original work of the highest quality and relevance possible.
Determined in diversity – We aim to ensure that diverse stories, voices and expressions are duly represented and that they are embraced and welcomed into a platform of creativity, conversation and cross-pollination.
Enablers of change – We aim to drive positive social change towards the elimination of racism, discrimination and exclusion by fostering self-determination and cultural safety with the agency to freely express.
Proposals need to demonstrate a clear, original concept and respond to at least one of our programming principles, and a high level of artistic practice and a commitment to representing diverse voices, cultural identities and expressions.
Callout closes: Monday 26 May 2025
