The Apollo-Union is Going to Las Vegas

July 10, 2010 - PRLog -- The International Foundation Apollo-Union would like to invite you to become an annual supporter of one of the largest artist branches of the International Festival “Apollo’s Muse.” in the country. This innovative event blends the traditional with the modern in a sweeping two-part competition that provides a venue for artists in various ethnic communities to showcase their talents before a mainstream American audience.

In any country of the world, creative talent holds an essential niche in society and the economy, providing employment to a significant part of the population that helps to maintain social stability in a society and motivate people to succeed in life. The wide array of ethnic communities populations in the greater West area are filled with talent that reflects the values and traditions of diverse national cultures that are not often given the limelight in mainstream America.

The International Festival “Apollo’s Muse” celebrates these ethnically diverse artists in the context of American society and gives them the opportunity to showcase their talents on a grand scale in Las Vegas and Hollywood. The most inspirational ‘Muse-like’ of the performers will be rewarded for their skill, creativity, and passion in their respective art forms. Performing artists will interact with their colleagues from other national groups and other countries, which may lead to further collaboration and discussion of the issues concerning performing artists today.

The International Festival “Apollo’s Muse” is an ongoing process with a new competition cycle beginning approximately every six months. Applications are currently being accepted until September 30, 2011, for the first round which finishes in December 2011 with a gala ceremony in Las Vegas. Once that round is underway, applications will be accepted October 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012 for the new cycle. That contest will conclude in Hollywood during the summer of 2012.
