Camrose County is inviting local musicians, dancers, actors and other performers to register for its Creative Arts Search, a new initiative to build a living directory of talent for community events in Camrose, Alberta. The directory is intended to help the county source performers for professional booking opportunities — including spots at festivals, tourism campaigns and local celebrations — throughout 2026.
The Creative Arts Search is being hosted at the rehearsal hall inside the historic Bailey Theatre. Performers are asked to present a roughly 10-minute showcase for a panel of community arts stakeholders; the goal is to create a roster of acts that event organizers can hire for events such as Canada Day celebrations and fringe stages connected to the Big Valley Jamboree. The initiative is organized by Camrose County’s Economic Development & Tourism department in partnership with the Bailey Theatre Society, and artists can find registration details on the Camrose County website.
The search is part of the county’s broader effort to support local artists and grow rural tourism under the Choose Camrose Region campaign. County budget documents and the program materials emphasize prioritizing homegrown talent for regional entertainment and expanding professional opportunities for local performers. Tourism Camrose also lists regional events and festivals where local acts may be booked.
For current registration deadlines, audition dates and details about performance and payment terms, please check the Camrose County website and the Creative Arts Search listing on the county events calendar.
