BENNINGTON, VT — In 2019, Bennington Museum began an outdoor Friday night concert series in the Museum’s courtyard. Last year, thanks to an anonymous grant, the museum hosted 12 performing groups and were able to offer small stipends for their services. Over 900 people passed through the gates to enjoy the food, music, outdoor art, kids’ activities, and good company.
Bennington Museum has once again received an anonymous grant and welcomes musicians to submit their application.
Performances will begin June 3 and run through Sept. 2, - 14 weekends - and will be free of charge to the public. Groups will be paid an average of $450 and will be allowed to collect tips from the audience. All events take place from 5-7 p.m. Concerts will be cancelled in the event of a 60% chance of rain by 2 p.m. on Fridays, and efforts will be made to reschedule on a mutually convenient date.
Applications will close on March 31. All artists will be notified as to whether or not they were awarded a spot. Go to: benningtonmuseum.org and scroll down to “Concerts in the Courtyard Musician Applications.”
