Seeking young local artists for Converge on the Goulburn
The Amplify Youth Committee at Shepparton Council will run a two hour youth program featuring performances by young local artists at Converge on Goulburn!
We are looking to book local young artists aged 14–25 to perform as part of the youth showcase on 21st March 2026.
This is a paid performance opportunity for emerging and aspiring artists working in music, dance, theatre, spoken word and other performance based art forms.
We are looking for young people who:
- are aged 14-25 years;
- live, study or rehearse locally;
- are emerging artists, students or early-career professionals;
- are interested in performing in a public event; and/or
- are open to being part of a supportive, youth-led creative environment.
You do not need to be 'fully professional'. Passion, commitment and readiness to perform are what matter most.
