OPEN CALLS
CALL TO MAKERS: CELEBRATE845 MERCH COLLABORATIONS
Let's collab! Celebrate845 is looking to work with marginalized creatives living in New York's Hudson Valley on new merch. Our goal is to work together and build relationships with local creatives, provide a small source of income for local marginalized artists, and fundraise for future Celebrate845 projects, programs, and opportunities.
Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis. If you're interested, please review the following guidelines and fill out our form at your leisure.
MUSICIANS / SOUND ARTISTS: BANDCAMP
Take Care Recording Co. has collaborated with Celebrate845 to launch our own BANDCAMP page. This effort is taken on in the hopes of furthering power for oppressed artists, offering virtual stage and resources in one the major creative industries without succumbing to poisonous platforms. The page will host an ever-growing collection of songs, albums, demos, pieces, tapes, and more from around the 'Valley, plus collaborations with TCRCo.
We are so excited to occupy this new realm and will soon offer open calls to artists to share work their work through our hub - free of charge. For now, check it out, enjoy your stay, and support some local living artists while you're on there (especially if it's a Bandcamp Friday, where artists get full funds).
If you're a marginalized artist in the 845 with a Bandcamp, contact us about listing a single on our platform. If you have a larger collaboration in mind, reach out any time.

Are you a marginalized and/or low income person interested in performing or presenting your creative work? Join a virtual open mic! Performers must sign up in advance.
