VISITING ARTIST SERIES Scheduling for Schools

Feel free to share this information with your colleagues and administration and help our mission of enriching the quality of life in the Quad Cities region through the arts.
Steps for scheduling
- Visiting artist engagements are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Scroll down to see the roster of artists for the 2022-2023 season, their residency dates, a brief description, and link to their website for more information.
- Then scroll further to review and complete the scheduling form. Read the entire scheduling form carefully, and ensure you understand all instructions before submitting.
- You may request visits from multiple artists to your school during the season
- After the scheduling form is submitted, the “Preferred Scheduling Contact” will be emailed with a confirmation for the school.
- Prior to the scheduled performance, the contact person will receive a final confirmation email with details of the visit and how to prepare for the performance.
- We will send a post-performance survey afterward to gather details like attendance, artist preparation and quality, plus comments about the artist.
- Invoices will be sent following the engagement. Payment is due 30 days from the receipt of invoice.
- If you have questions about invoicing, payment, or the fee, contact Performing Arts Director Margot Day at mday@quadcityarts.com to discuss options. We try to make these visits as accessible as we can.
Information about our performances
- We do charge a subsidized fee of $250 for each performance; we work very hard to keep this cost as low as possible.
- Artists are generally flexible and able to collaborate with you on the best outreach for your students, whether that’s an all-school performance, a workshop, a masterclass, or Q&A.
- Artists can perform in a variety of settings, such as a classroom, a gym, or an auditorium.
- Performances last about 45 minutes to an hour
- Artists will travel to your school and may require equipment (chairs, music stands, microphone and a PA system, etc). We ask that you provide a volunteer to greet them and help them set up.
