Greetings Zimfest community,
Following the end of the application period, March and April have been very busy and productive times for the Zimfest 2018 Organizing Committee and Tech Team. As we work towards the target date of May 1 to open online registration, we want to let you know that:
- Vendor applications for the Marketplace are now being accepted on the Vendor Information and Application page on the website. The deadline for vendor applications is July 16, 2018.
- The Organizing Committee has announced this year’s Zimbabwean guest teachers and performers on the 2018 homepage – a truly stunning and star-studded lineup!
- While you are on the Zimfest 2018 homepage, please note that we have been adding informational pages as they become available. Click on the overhead menus for the festival schedule, housing and dining info, etc.
- We received what might be a record number of workshop proposals and performance applications, requiring difficult decisions on the part of the Organizing Committee. We now have a workshop grid and tentative performance schedule, and teachers and performers are being notified of the status of their applications . Contracts will be sent later in the month.
Enjoy the spring weather!
Claire and the Organizing Committee
Kudos on getting all this info up and running so early!!! And what a great line-up of teachers so far! Registration opening on May 1 – you’re setting a record here. Woohoo! Thank you all for your hard work on this. So excited to be coming back this year.
Thank you, Zimfest planning committee members and behind-the-scenes friends who are helping make this happen! Lovely to hear about all the Zimbabweans who will be attending, teaching and performing~ Here’s hoping for smooth and easy visa approvals and travel for these special guests! looking forward to seeing you all in August…
