    The People’s Music Network will honor and celebrate Juneteenth with our second online community art performance event on Thursday, June 6, 2024. 

    We're inviting inviting artists to share poetry and songs of Liberation, Freedom and Disability Awareness in honor of Juneteenth.  We're particularly seeking out pieces that speak to the struggles of people fighting for a better world, free from war, poverty, racism, and all forms of oppression.  We're prioritizing inclusion of artists with disabilities who are physically unable to attend the many in-person Juneteenth events taking place that same week and artists of color.

    How to Participate

    Members of the People's Music Network, especially new members, and invited artists may use the online registration form to sign up to share a song or a poem during this event OR be part of the audience.  Just press the "Register" button on the left side of the web page.  Registered performers and audience members receive an e-mail message containing the Zoom Meeting link immediately after they register.  Registering as a performer does not automatically mean you'll be included in the final performance line up, but it is the first step.  We encourage live performance, but you may submit a pre-recorded video when you register to substitute for a live performance.  Artists sharing videos first give a live introduction if possible.

    1)   Be Invited Artists and/or PMN members in good standing.* 

    2)   Register using the online form.

    Registration Policies:


    • Pre-RegistrationPMN aims to keep gatherings accessible to all while sustaining the organization financially.  Choosing the "Supporting" option enables PMN to keep our gatherings financially accessible to the full diversity of our musical community, regardless of financial means.  Please register ahead of time to give us accurate meal counts for our caterer.  Payment at the time of registration is requested.  However, you may pre-register online and create an invoice to be paid in person when you arrive at registration (check or cash) or by mail (check).
    • Contributing to the PMN Scholarship Fund is another way to keep PMN events accessible.  You'll have the chance to "scale up" on the registration form.
    • Financial Aid: We don’t turn anyone away for lack of funds. If you can’t afford to pay at least the low-income rate, please contact <pmn@peoplesmusic.org> to request a cost reduction and please state what you can afford.  The cost to PMN for food and overnight lodging at the camp, before covering any of PMN's operating budget, is approximately $175/person.
    • The Matt Jones Scholarship Fund (MJSF): The MJTF fosters a multi-racial and inter-generational artistic and political community at PMN by providing registration and partial travel stipends to young people and people of color.  The MJSF has received support from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice and the Tiferet Fund, specifically for the PMN Summer Gathering.  MJSF provides travel scholarships and registration costs (including meals) for young people (25 years or younger) and people of color wishing to attend one of PMN’s two annual gatherings. Scholarship applicants may request up to $50 in travel stipends to reimburse for the cost of travel.  To apply for this scholarship or to get in touch about making a donation to this fund, contact ben.grosscup@peoplesmusic.org with the SUBJECT: “Matt Jones Scholarship Fund”.   Click here for more info on MJSF.
    • Work Shifts: The cost of the weekend is reduced because we share the workload! Please sign up for two one-hour work shifts when you arrive.
    • Cancellations by September 21, 2024 will be fully refunded. After September 21, PMN will subtract $70 to cover food costs.
