In January 2024, The Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) and Civis Foundation (a Galvan Initiatives affiliate) partnered to launch The Democracy Cycle, a new commissioning program designed to support new works that illuminate the promise, practice, imperfection, and opportunity of democracy. The Cycle will provide $60,000 in support to each awarded project, consisting of a $30,000 commission as well as an additional $30,000 towards each commissioned project’s development process (research, readings, workshops etc.). The commissions will be awarded across three annual Open Calls, beginning in January 2024. In each Open Call, The Democracy Cycle will commission at least eight projects.
Requirements
Commissions will be awarded over the course of three annual Rounds of Open Calls beginning in January 2024. At least eight commissions will be awarded in each Open Call.
Each commissioned artist will be provided $30,000 to create a new performance work in theater, dance, music, chamber opera, and multi-disciplinary performance based on the idea(s) of the promise, practice, imperfection and opportunity of democracy.
An additional $30,000 will be provided in support of each commissioned project’s development process (research, readings, workshops etc.).
