Our programming includes theatrical productions, spoken word, live music spanning classical music and jazz to singer/songwriters and immersive soundscapes, puppetry, film, dance, experimental theater, children’s programming, staged readings, and more.
DVAA is committed to providing rural audiences with access to intimate live performance experiences that spotlight artistic excellence, invite engagement, and blur the boundaries of traditional art forms.
Never-before-seen works, emerging artists, and performers from historically marginalized backgrounds are particularly encouraged to submit. We are committed to accessibility and performers of all abilities are welcome.

Additionally, we welcome submissions from artists in the New York Metro, Philadelphia Metro, and Northern New Jersey region.
