“OpenMike Presents…” (OMP), is a visual collection of 100% student-led work and an extension of our #OpenMike program. OMP is an opportunity for students to completely own the rights to their content pieces, connect with professional partners, highlight their work on a professional & international platform, and create collaborative pieces that can be added to their portfolio.

This program was created to help prepare high school students for professional relationships in the industry by guiding students through ideating, producing, marketing, creatively directing, and releasing their art to the public. Are you an artist currently enrolled in high school and want to be a part of a project to get your artwork professionally produced? Submit your information for our database below!

Here’s what to expect:

• You only need to submit your information once. You’ll receive an email when your information has been successfully submitted.
• You will be notified when there is overlap with your artistry and an opportunity to collaborate on a topic/project idea, so feel free to be detailed when sharing your interests. Please be patient. The projects will be chosen year-round so you may hear from us in as little as a week to a few months later. The number of projects we can complete in a year is limited, but we are working hard to create more opportunities for you.
