Are you a busker?

REGISTRATIONS to participate in Artisti in Piazza 2026 as an Artist are officially CLOSED!

THANKS to all the candidates!

We will communicate the results of the selections by the end of April 2026.

Applications were open from 3rd December 2025 to 31st January 2026.

Each year we welcome around 40 companies in the official programme and 10–15 OFF companies.

In 2026 we will celebrate the Festival’s 30th anniversary: to mark this milestone, the artistic direction is preparing a special lineup, already defined, inviting long-standing companies, friends of the Festival, and planning a number of surprises.
For this reason, for the 2026 edition we will accept applications exclusively for the OFF section.

All submitted material will be reviewed and selected by the artistic team of Artisti in Piazza.
For organisational reasons, we cannot guarantee participation to everyone who applies.

What is an OFF performance?

An OFF company is included in the programme but does not receive any fee from the organisation, but is allowed to busk.
However, OFF companies are guaranteed meals, accommodation, technical support and visibility within the Festival, under the same conditions as the official companies.
