Performer Application

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

MEM is a Montclair based nonprofit performing ensemble, dedicated to promoting free and low-cost music education in Montclair, Essex County, and surrounding communities. Our mission thrives thanks to the dedicated work of our passionate volunteers. Medieval Fest is our annual community fundraiser to help us fund our mission throughout the year. Due to recent decreases in arts grants and funding we have a limited budget. We are accepting applications for volunteer and contractor (paid) performers.
