Present Your Creative Work Live at On Air Fest Brooklyn, Feb 25–26

On Air Fest is expanding, and we want your collaboration. 

For eight years, On Air Presents has built a home for creative audio and storytelling in all its forms. We spotlight the artists, storytellers, and organizations driving cultural innovation.

At On Air Fest, the stage belongs to those who are breaking form and reimagining what storytelling can be. Previous highlights have included immersive podcast performances, sound-driven art installations, and conversations with creators behind culture-shaping shows. This year, we want to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

Pitch us your session, experience, performance, or installation.

On Air Fest 2026 will feature multiple stages, a screening and listening room, an experience hall, and performance spaces for music and sound art. We’re centered on live experience and audience connection, and we welcome curiosity, surprise, and originality.

Consider these formats:

• Panels & Presentations: Launch your latest project, host compelling conversations, or experiment with live interactive content pushing the envelope of audience experience. From thought leadership sessions to futurist media theories; brand case studies and ‘how I made this,’ explainers  – share your voice on stage.
• Workshops & Demos: Share your expertise and inspire others through hands-on experiences, talks and demonstrations. Show us what the forefront looks like.
• Performances, Stories & Ideas: Take the stage and tell a story, present a big idea, or captivate us with a performance. Short or long-form welcome, onstage or on the street.
• Installations & Experiences: Create immersive, cross-platform storytelling that invites the audience to engage in new ways while in person
• Screenings and Deep Listenings: Create moments of reflection, inspiration and community through attentive, collective engagement
• Live Podcasts: Capture the energy of the moment with live recordings that also resonate far beyond the room. 
• Music, poetry, design, art and the indefinable: Surprise us! We are open to big ideas that touch hearts and change minds. Defy our expectations and bring new ways of thinking to the space.

Tell us about your idea. Whether you’re an independent creator or part of a larger team, we want to understand how your work comes alive in front of an audience.

This form is your space to share the story behind your project—what inspired it, how it connects to sound, image, or experience, and why it belongs at On Air Fest. Think of it as a creative pitch: we’re looking for originality, clarity, and a sense of how your work transforms the act of listening or storytelling.

We review proposals on a rolling basis until December 2. Selected participants will be invited to present live at On Air Brooklyn 2026, February 24–26 in Williamsburg.

Submit your proposal by Friday, December 5. Let’s imagine the possibilities together.
