Mitu’s Hybrid Arts Lab supports women, trans, and non-binary artists working at the intersection of performance and technology. With a focus on early career BIPOC artists, this program offers studio and creation space, technical resources, training, and mentorship to a small cohort for the exploration, development, and expansion of their practice. The program culminates in a series of studio visits that invites our community to engage in the fellows arts practice and join a conversation about art and innovation.
2025 marks our sixth annual Hybrid Arts Lab. Mitu will convene a cohort of three artists for seven months. Each artist will receive support to develop their practice bridging performance and technology. This support includes: a $3,000 award; five weeks of space, equipment, and technology at MITU580; mentorship and workshops with Founding Artistic Director Rubén Polendo; training and classes with guest artists modeling creative uses of hardware and software tools in art-making; and a materials budget to support a series of public studio visits.
