Application Process

Eligibility criteria:

  • Artists must demonstrate a deep commitment and interest in engaging with the local community

  • Applicants can be at any stage of their careers, but priority may be given to emerging artists

  • Eligible disciplines include traditional or folkloric arts, visual arts, literary arts, dance, theater, film/ video, music, performance-based arts, architecture, design, arts education, and interdisciplinary/ hybrid arts.

  • Preference will be given to emerging artists. Emerging artists are defined as the principal creators of new work who take risks and embrace challenges; develop voices revealing significant potential; are rigorous in their approach to creation and production; have some evidence of professional achievement but not a substantial record of accomplishment; and are not recognized as established artists by other artists, curators, producers, critics, and arts administrators.
