Host Guidelines

• Hosts are limited to two nights. The hosting fee is $35.00 per room, per night.

• There’s a place on the host application to indicate if you plan to charge artists to perform. We prefer to have some showcases that do not charge performers.

• If you’re selected to host, we’ll notify you by March 23.

• If you host, you must be registered for the conference.

• We hope you will announce the availability of your room via the SERFAfolk Google Group as well as directly contacting artists you’re interested in.

• Your payment and performance schedules are due by April 15. We’ll provide you with a link to submit your schedule.

• If you serve alcohol to showcase guests, please do so responsibly. You must ensure that those drinking are 21 or older.

• Guerrilla showcases are acoustic only. If an artist requests amplification (e.g. for an electronic keyboard), please make sure the volume is consistent with acoustic instrumentation

• At the end of each night, you are responsible for setting up and returning your room to its original configuration.

• No candles are allowed in guerrilla rooms.
