Totally Thames Open Call

Totally Thames is an annual season of diverse and accessible arts and culture throughout the month of September along the 42-mile stretch of the Thames. It is curated and managed by Thames Festival Trust, working with artists, local communities, river interest organisations and businesses to bring the river to life every September.

Everyone is welcome to apply to join the programme, and Totally Thames are eager to support artists, creatives, producers, river enthusiasts, young people, heritage professionals and businesses from all backgrounds to submit exciting and new ideas that hold the River Thames at their heart.

Apply by Thursday 24 March to be a participant in our 2022 programme and receive extensive marketing support, networking events, and the chance to be part of one of London’s cultural events. We are one of the only Open Call festivals to charge no registration fee and it is completely free to take part.

If you are 30 years old or under you can apply to the Young Artist Development Programme, Tide Changers. This programme provides support and seed funding for young emerging artists to develop their Totally Thames event.
