The ShapeShifter Plus Open Call Program is designed to provide a platform for artists of all backgrounds and disciplines to showcase their work in an inclusive and supportive environment. We welcome applications from emerging and established artists who are seeking unique opportunities to present their projects, whether in music, visual arts, dance, theater, or interdisciplinary forms.
We offer a free, no-cost platform for serious and creative artists to present their projects. For the artists, you will receive up to onehour of presentation time, our sound engineer and backline and front of house. The selection process will go through our team with our Artistic Director.
This program is an integral part of our mission to support innovative work and create equitable opportunities for artists. It is supported by various funding sources of our organization and donors.

ShapeShifter Plus is proud to collaborate with organizations, like the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, on their youth music education programs. In 2023, our Young Adults Program will include workshops, masterclasses, talks with well-known musicians, and performances for up-and-coming musicians dedicated to developing their craft.
Every Wednesday, Matt Garrison hosts a music workshop and a jam session open where musicians from all genres and skill levels come together to create and experiment in a live, improvisational setting. These sessions foster a sense of community and creativity, encouraging spontaneous musical expression and cross-genre collaboration. Whether you’re an emerging artist or an established performer, our jam sessions offer a unique platform to connect with other musicians, hone your craft, and explore new sonic possibilities in a supportive and inclusive environment. At ShapeShifter Plus, we believe that these sessions are more than just performances—they are opportunities for artistic growth, connection, and innovation.
ShapeShifter Plus also loves to collaborate with visual artists. The current exhibition is curated by the Park Slope Windsor Terrace Artists. We are very grateful for the collaboration with PSWT.
Featured Artists will curate a month of performances, workshops, and interviews with fellow musicians. They will also record educational content for TuneBend, a new format for music education created by Shapeshifter Lab Productions.
