want to collaborate on dance+ 2026?

Fill out the form below to let us know your availability. Please upload some samples of your artwork for us to share with the choreographers for them to get a feel for your style. We also ask for your general availability so you can sit in on a rehearsal or two (virtually) and see the piece in action to gain inspiration.

Submissions (below) are due by January 10. Artwork for the performance must be completed and photographed by February 13, 2026.  Artwork created specifically for Dance+ will be displayed in the lobby of the Belle during the performances (February 20 & 21) and will be available for purchase to the public. NPD will provide each participating visual artist with one complimentary ticket to Dance+. The goal is to get funding to give each artist a stipend (typically $100) to complete their artwork and NPD will split the proceeds of the sale of any artwork with the artist.

*Northern Plains Dance will help arrange transport of artwork created outside of the Bismarck/Mandan area but will not cover shipping costs if needed.*

While the actual size of the artwork does not matter, it should be in 16:9 ratio for best projection display.  Keep in mind that artwork priced under $350 sells best at this event and the artist should plan accordingly.
