Guidelines and Procedure for submitting material to SPACE
Before submitting your idea, please take a moment to think
about SPACE's mission:
To present contemporary, unconventional, and emerging arts, artists
and ideas.
Please note that we generally like to hear / see content before presenting it at SPACE.
Please include a statement of intent describing the nature of the event, a list of preferred dates and times, anticipated requirements (seating, PA, stage, bar, AV projection, staffing, etc...). A lead time of AT LEAST two months to allow us to properly consider and promote the event. Weblinks are especially helpful to us in evaluating your proposal.
Music
If you are booking a music event, please include a CD for each group/performer and direct it to attn: Music Booking.
Theater
Theater and other performing arts should send a synopsis/script of the performance and should be directed to attn: Performance Booking. VHS tapes/DVDs of prior performances or rehearsals are preferred if available. Newsclippings, bios, reviews, weblinks and photographs are especially helpful to us in evaluating your proposal.
Film or Video
Film/Video screenings should include a VHS or DVD copy of the material to be screened and should be directed to attn: Screenings.
Gallery / Art exhibitions
We have a separate page for visual art submissions:
http://www.space538.org/pages/submissions.php
Private Events
Occasionally we rent SPACE to other nonprofit groups, corporate parties, or private individuals. Please inquire for cost and availability. We do NOT generally rent SPACE for booking of public events -- i.e., you can't pay to have your child's band play here. When inquiriing, please provide as much of the following info as you can:- when you want to have the event (be as specific as you can)
- how important that date/time is
- what the event is
- who your audience is
- what time you need the room, including setup / breakdown
- what's required (tables, chairs, wall space, PA, bar, etc)
- is it open to the public, is there a fee
- anything else that you have in mind so far.
When should you contact SPACE?
Please allow two weeks after sending your proposal and follow up with either a phone call to us at 207.828.5600, or an email to the appropriate department. If you are interested in booking an event at SPACE please send a proposal to:
We evaluate events based on thoughtfulness and creativity as well as appropriateness to SPACE's vision and mission. Because we receive numerous proposals and because much of SPACE runs off of volunteer labor, we are often limited by time or energy constraints. Your patience and understanding is appreciated. SPACE is also occasionally available for private performances, receptions, meetings, seminars, etc...
SPACE is run by a small staff and lots of volunteer
hours. While we strive to do all we can to promote our calendar of events,
you can help us generate attendance by participating in the promotions
process. WE REALLY LOVE being provided with flyers and
posters for events! If you are able to create or provide your own promotional
print materials, it saves our staff a big chunk of time and work. Included
is a fairly complete list of print and radio resources in Maine. We encourage
you to contact as many as you are able to with press releases, bios and
audio/visual samples for promotion. Thanks for helping SPACE
help you.
