With limited Showcase slots available during any year's WOMEX, it is inevitable that there will be some artists who seek a further opportunity to present themselves. Add to that the many regional, national, organisational or commercial interests who are looking for a chance to expose their artists or services, and you can see why offWOMEX has become such a popular feature.
For information on how you, your organisation or company might take part in offWOMEX next year, contact: showcase@womex.com as early as possible.
