The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) sends out a call to all bluegrass musicians from around the world, and announces the formation of the International Pavilion as part of this year's World Of Bluegrass® (WOB) in Raleigh, NC (26-30 Sept.). The Pavilion will be in the WOB Exhibit Hall, and IBMA states:

International artists and groups, as well as those with international ties, are encouraged to participate in this FREE opportunity! Artists with international connections include the following:

• Foreign nationals living overseas.
• Foreign nationals living and working in the United States.
• U.S. nationals with strong international connections such as working with the State Department as cultural ambassadors or having been on multiple overseas tours.

Foreign artists with a P or an O visa may perform Wednesday through Saturday. Foreign artists without a visa may perform during the Conference attendee portion of the Exhibit Hall (Wednesday-Thursday), but not during the public attendee portion (Friday-Saturday).

More information is on the IBMA press release.
