Emerging Artist Project
Elevating Greensboro's Rising Stars
Elevating Greensboro's Rising Stars
Greensboro is home to incredible musical talent—but many emerging artists lack the access, resources, and exposure needed to grow sustainable careers. The Emerging Artist Series, an initiative of MusicGreensboro, was created to change that.
This program provides paid, professional performance opportunities for rising local musicians, while helping them build their brand, expand their audience, and connect with industry leaders.
