The Leesburg Performing Arts Commission held a crucial meeting on September 25, 2025, focusing on the upcoming application process for performers. A key decision made was to set the application deadline for October 15, allowing performers ample time to submit their materials. This timeline is essential for ensuring that selections can be made and notifications sent out by November 1, which is vital for the planning of future events.

During the discussions, members emphasized the importance of clear communication with potential performers. They agreed that the application should be formatted as a global PDF, allowing artists to submit their videos and other materials efficiently. The commission also explored the possibility of using an online platform, theaterforms.com, to streamline the submission process, although this would require the town to create an account.

The commission members expressed their commitment to promoting the arts in Leesburg, encouraging outreach to local groups and schools to ensure a diverse range of performers apply. This proactive approach aims to enhance the cultural landscape of the community, providing residents with a variety of artistic experiences.

As the commission prepares for the next meeting on October 23, they are focused on finalizing the application details and ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to support local artists. The outcomes of this meeting reflect a strong dedication to fostering the performing arts in Leesburg, ultimately enriching the community's cultural offerings.
