Interested in applying to our Artist Commissioning Program as an individual artist (dancer/choreographer) or small dance organization? Choreographers, dancers, and small Queens-based dance organizations can now apply to receive $2,000 and $10,000 commissions to create new work! In addition to the funds, ACP Awardees will receive the support of a dedicated cohort of Queens-based Art Commissioners.

Join us for an information session for an overview of this unique program, and to get all your questions answered!

Attendees will receive tips on how to make your application stand out for this commission. Read more about the ACP at https://www.queenscouncilarts.org/acp.

ABOUT THE ARTIST COMMISSIONING PROGRAM
The Artist Commissioning Program (ACP) democratizes the traditional commissioning progress by enabling local community members, or “art commissioners,” to fill gaps in American culture by awarding commissions to Queens artists. The 2021-22 ACP will fund choreographers, dance artists, and small dance organizations to tell untold stories that highlight underrepresented protagonists. By commissioning artists to materialize works that resonate with Queens communities, the ACP aims to create a cultural sector more reflective of the diversity of the borough and the nation.
