Founded on the principles of experimentation, interdisciplinary practice, and public engagement, the school fosters a environment where emerging and established artists can present work that pushes the boundaries of sound and technology.

Application guidance

Artists should approach the Milwaukee Sonic Arts Festival with a clear articulation of their sonic experimentation and its conceptual underpinnings. Submissions are typically reviewed by a committee of faculty and invited artists, so demonstrating an awareness of current trends in electronic music and sound art is beneficial. Ensure that technical requirements are thoroughly described, as the festival may have specific equipment and spatial constraints. It is advisable to submit early and to include documentation of past performances or installations to convey the experiential nature of the work.
