2027 duo applications now open!
Two Piece Fest is a non-profit festival dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive space for duo acts to express their creativity. We aim to cultivate a diverse environment for performers and attendees, representing a wide range of backgrounds. All proceeds are donated to local mutual aid organizations, ensuring our work directly benefits the community.Â
Since 2008, we have consistently provided a safe space for diverse performers and attendees to enjoy a day of positive and creative artistic expression.Â
Since 2021, we have begun supporting the following organizations by raising money at two piece fest:
Mutual Aid Philly (https://mutualaidphilly.com)
Papermill Food Hub (https://www.papermillfoodhub.com)
Circles & Ciphers (https://circlesandciphers.org)
Portland Immigration Rights Coalition (https://pircoregon.org)
We are always looking for new aid organizations to learn about and support.
Please get in touch with any ideas: twopiecefest@gmail.com
