Call for Proposals for the Innovation Lab
Are you a performing arts or arts service organization seeking a new, strategic response to a complex challenge? Apply to ArtsFwd's Innovation Lab by May 30. ArtsFwd is pleased to accept proposals for two final rounds of the Innovation Lab, their 16-month-long immersion programs for United States-based arts and arts service organizations seeking to uncover adaptive strategies and responses to their most complex challenges. These programs are designed and managed by EmcArts, and made possible with the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF).
Four organizations from across the country will be selected for each of these two rounds (eight participating organizations in total).
Eligible organizations for Round 9 of the Innovation Lab for the Performing Arts are United States-based nonprofit producing and presenting organizations in theater, modern or contemporary dance, and jazz (including multidisciplinary college-based presenters).
