Happy Stages participating artist interviews are currently on waitlist for future projects. Most of our inquiries come from referrals provided by other nonprofit organizations, schools, mental health agencies/clinicians, and social service agencies.

We welcome interested artists to apply for membership with the core understanding that Happy Stages is ALWAYS to remain a ‘Safe Place’ for the artists who share their talent. LGBTQIA, Neurodivergent, and Multicultural Friendly behavior is paramount to our core ethic. Collaborating artists in Happy Stages are either people living with various forms of mental health, neurodivergent, or psycho-social challenges, or are advocates, family members, and/or social service or mental health practitioners who champion the needs of people with ‘differences/challenges’.

If interested in becoming a part of the Happy Stages family of artists in future projects, please use the following email:
