Artist submissions now open
Murals, music, and installation art submissions are now open for Up Here 11.
The urban art and emerging music festival takes place August 15-17, 2025, in weird and wonderful Sudbury, Ontario.
To submit, please complete the appropriate form below before 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, February 17, 2025.
All submissions are reviewed based on artistic discipline by the Up Here Programming Committees. The evaluation process is based on artistic merit, the timing of latest releases, the pertinence of the project with this year's theme, which will be announced shortly (less relevant for musical projects), and pairing with other artists in the lineup.
Submissions can be submitted in English or in French. We receive over 500 artist submissions every year. All submissions will be reviewed thoroughly, but due to the high volume of submissions, only successful applicants will be contacted.
Music
We present emerging music and have a penchant for underrepresented artists and genres.
Murals
We curate provoking pieces of contemporary public art created by artists from here and beyond.
Art Installations
We love digital art projects, site-specific immersive art installations, and things that blink in the night.
