The snow may still be on the ground, but summer is not that far away, and with it comes the popular Wednesday on the Wharf performances at Marine Park.

If you or someone you know is interested in being on the performance slate, the time to act is now.

Musical styles ranging from jazz to rock, funk to folk are offered from mid-June through to the end of August.

The Wednesdays on the Wharf program is presented by the Shuswap District Arts Council and co-ordinated by Downtown Salmon Arm.

The arts council invites performers to download an application form at www.salmmonarmartscentre.ca or www.salmonarmdowntown.com/eventsites/WoW and fill it out, scan it and email it to events@salmonarmdowntown.com, or download the application and send the completed form to Roger Parenteau at Downtown Salmon Arm, P.O. Box 1928, Salmon Arm, V1E 4P9. Deadline for submissions is March 15.

All applications will be reviewed and a schedule compiled with a balance of music styles. A final review will be completed by the arts council.

All applicants must supply an electronic press kit or current group information including biography, group size and CD or website address. All appropriate questions must be answered. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.

All performers are also required to provide a volunteer to help with sound set-up at 4 p.m. at the Marine Park gazebo.
