2. Curation process: We review every submission with our mission in mind. We prioritize genres and performances that align with our values and mission— think jazz, soul, R&B, hip hop, funk, dance, and adjacent styles— especially those that can engage the crowd, get people moving, and bring joy to the street. We’re not exclusionary. While these genres get priority, we welcome all performances that create connection and fit the community-first vibe of the Night Market.

3. We believe artists deserve compensation. See our guide below for info on pay rates for on stage performances.
