Individual Arts Grants: Professional Performing Artists

Description

Individual Arts Grants: Professional Performing Artists support initiatives in the development, creation, production, realization, dissemination, or live performance of classical, experimental, original, traditional, and contemporary performing art forms from all world cultures. Performing arts includes dance, music, theatre, multidisciplinary, or other performing arts practices such as circus arts and comedy.

The program supports artists and has two categories:

  • Development and Creation supports the initial stages of the creative process including research, creation, and project development.
  • Production and Realization supports latter stages of project development, production, remounts, post-production and presentation and those projects intended for presentation.
    For projects with a full range of activity you may apply for both categories in the same application.
