Call for Proposals

To introduce the Willow Grove Cultural Commons and highlight the full range of activities it will be supporting, we are seeking proposals from community members to host free participatory activities for any of the above dates. Stipends will be provided for select accepted proposals.

We are looking for proposals that showcase the rich array of folk arts and traditions practiced within Montgomery County. While anyone can submit a proposal, we particularly encourage submissions that propose:

  • Arts Workshops

  • Interactive Cultural Activities

  • Performances & Jams

As this is a limited program, not all applicants will be selected. If you are not selected, you will still be able to engage with Willow Grove outside of these weekends.
