RALEIGH, N.C. — Artists are being sought for a market at the upcoming Dreamville Festival at Dix Park in Raleigh.

Artsplosure is creating the market to showcase local artists and vendors who appeal to a hip-hop loving audience. Applications are due by Feb. 25.

Dreamville Festival, which will also feature culture food and music, will be held on April 6. It is expected to be an annual festival. It was created by hip hop artist J. Cole, who was born in Germany, but was raised in Fayetteville.

The festival was originally scheduled for September last year but was postponed due to Hurricane Florence.

J. Cole's Dreamville Festival rescheduled, will serve as hurricane fundraiser

The lineup for the new date hasn't been released.

Dreamville Festival will donate proceeds to help hurricane victims across the state as well as to the Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy and the Dreamville Foundation, a nonprofit J.Cole founded in 2011 to “bridge the gap” between the worlds of opportunity and the urban youth of Fayetteville.
