Hartford’s Got Talent! is a movement, not a single organization, whose mission is to provide a vehicle for people of all ages, and youth in particular, in the performing arts as a means of promoting community harmony and pride and to create hope and opportunity for the many talented artists in and around the Hartford area.

How it Works

The journey of finding Hartford’s talent begins with an HGT! audition. Performers selected from a series of community-wide auditions will then compete in a Semi-Final Showcase. The semi-finalists chosen will go on to Hartford’s Got Talent! LIVE Finale at the Bushnell, to compete and perform in a multi-genre performing arts showcase that celebrates our local talent.
