Get Involved
The BUMP Festival brings together various artists, people, businesses and places to activate the city for an entire month. There are many ways to play a part in what we are creating and the success and growth of BUMP relies on local, national & international artists as well as support from members of our community.

Artists are invited to apply to the August Festival in the spring of every year, typically in January/February.. These applications are for both the general festival as well as our new Road Works painting program which takes place in May.
