Westfield Creative Collective is seeking talented, engaging, and original performing artists for our 2027 Fourth Friday season.

Fourth Friday is a curated arts experience connecting visual art, music, movement, local businesses, and community. Our performances are designed to complement the featured artwork and create memorable experiences for guests.

We welcome professional and experienced emerging performers, including singer-songwriters, bands, DJs, harpists, violinists, instrumentalists, electronic musicians, and artists working across musical genres.

We're looking for performers who demonstrate strong stage presence, audience engagement, professionalism, and a well-prepared performance.

These are paid opportunities. Compensation will be discussed with selected performers based on performance scope, group size, and event budget.

2027 Performance Opportunities

February 26 — Fourth Friday at Rivet

An Intimate, Art-Centered Experience

February's performance will take place at Rivet Coffee Bar as part of our opening Fourth Friday celebration. We're envisioning a warm, intimate, and immersive atmosphere where music and visual art complement one another.

We're particularly interested in:

• Harpists, violinists, cellists, and other instrumentalists

• Acoustic musicians and singer-songwriters

• Jazz, classical, contemporary instrumental, and experimental performers

• Artists who create an engaging listening experience through storytelling, musical expression, and thoughtful audience interaction

The ideal performer understands how to create an atmosphere without overpowering the featured artwork or guest experience.

May 28 — The After Party at Field Brewing

IndyCar / Automotive Design / Racing History, Culture

May's After Party celebrates the energy, nostalgia, and traditions surrounding Indiana's Month of May. We're especially interested in performers who can capture that unmistakable Hoosier spirit through music and performance.

This might include:

• Americana, country, classic rock, blues, folk, or indie artists

• Bands, DJs, or solo performers with a strong connection to Indiana's musical culture

• Artists who can incorporate a thoughtful mix of original music and recognizable covers

• Performers who bring energy, nostalgia, storytelling, and audience engagement to the experience

We're looking for a performance that feels distinctly Indiana—celebrating racing traditions, community, and the excitement of May.

June, July, September & October — The After Party at Field Brewing

Creative, Social

Our remaining After Party events offer opportunities for a wide variety of musical styles and performance formats. We're interested in performers who can create an engaging atmosphere, connect with guests, and complement the evening's featured artists and creative direction.

Original music, distinctive covers, instrumental performances, DJ sets, and unconventional collaborations are all welcome.

July 23 is a special collaborative fundraiser and may have additional programming requirements.
