University Union UNIQUE Programs
produces a wide variety of entertainment and educational
programs, including concerts, lectures, cultural programs,
films, comedy, and performing arts. If you have come
by or are calling to express an interest in performing
at Sac State, hopefully the following will address most
of your questions and assist you in the process.
Generally speaking, we schedule events between 2 months
and a year or more in advance, so please don't anticipate
an immediate booking for an event, say, next week. We
are also out of session in January and produce just a
few programs during the summer.
There are no firm rules as to how we decide our bookings;
however, here are a few factors: |
| |
| • |
Does
the artist have a record of performing professionally? |
| • |
Are
the materials presented to us of high quality? |
| • |
How
much of a draw/following/name recognition does the
artist have? |
| • |
Is
the type/style of performance something that we
have been looking for or that most people don't
frequently get a chance to se/hear? |
| • |
What
financial expenses and security risks are invloved? |
|
| |
| You may mail or drop off your promotional
materials to the University Union Information Desk or
Administration Office for our consideration. Keeping the
above criteria in mind, those materials would ideally
include performance samples (eg, CDs, videos), press materials,
past performance venues, a schedule of upcoming performances,
contact information, and (if you have one) a web site
address. |
|
|
| Please only send or drop materials
that we can keep. We are not interested in, will not be
responsible for, and do not have the time to track down
submissions that need to be returned. |

Understand that we have many
people interested in performing. Due to the high volume
of requests to perform here and the many events we are
busy producing throughtout the school year, we cannot
meet with or speak with everyone who is interested in
performing here. Our primary mission is to bring programs
to the campus, not to provide opportunities to artists,
although it is nice when that works out. We will call
you as time, ability, and interest allow. Giving us updated
materials is fine, but follow-up phone calls or visits
do not help and may, in fact, annoy. We will contact you
if we are interested. If you have something you want us
to know, please include it in the materials.
We do not "co-promote" shows with a buisness,
providing funding to an organization, or secure facilities
for an individual or entity.
Thanks you again for your interest!
