🫵We need YOU!
TinyFest returns this June, taking over the Christchurch Bus Interchange from 19–21 June.We’re looking for volunteers to join the Tiny Crew across Friday night through to Sunday evening.
You can be:
⚡ushering audiences

⚡ helping keep the festival flowing
⚡creating creative responses to performances
This year’s theme, INTERxCHANGE explores movement, transition, and connection through site-responsive performance. You’ll find activations, talks, music, installations, and live encounters across the Bus Interchange and central city spaces.
This is a chance to be part of a weekend filled with experimental art, creative energy, and meaningful encounters...if that sounds like your kind of weekend, jump aboard.
⚡Fill out the form in our bio before the 25th of May
or email your interest to festival@tinyfest.org and we’ll get back to you.

⚡“The festival has begun.
The festival has always-already begun.”
Our new website is now live, including the TinyFest Manifesto: a deeper look into our kaupapa, curatorial thinking, and the ways we approach the wild, strange, thoughtful and unexpected proposals that come our way.
📣Our 2026 artist callout for INTERxCHANGE is currently open, inviting performance work for the Bus Interchange this June.
👉Applications close this Sunday 10th of May!
Find all info through the link in our bio.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

What's up with Tiny Fest? ...looking a little different 👀
Following our 2025/26 kaupapa, INTERxCHANGE, we’ve been on the move: connecting, collaborating, and exchanging across and beyond Te Waipounamu.
After our Tiny Grem Fest fundraising fest, co-hosted with @gremlins.otautahi , we kicked off 2026 with our first cross-city, cross-festival iteration alongside @performanceartweekaotearoa (and we’re still reliving those moments through our archive as it continues to unfold!). And before we could even catch our breath, we began a beautiful collaboration with @mana.tipua , who is currently enchanting the realms of words and sound through their Tiny Tipua EP ✨
Oof. Exciting times.
And now—it’s YOUR moment to jump on the bus with us 🚌
We’re brewing a fresh programme and will be sharing more info (and a call-out!) very soon.
Heads up: this year’s artist call-out (and turnaround) will be quick.
Keep your eyes peeled… You won’t want to miss this bus 😉
