For McKnight Theater Artists Fellowship Applicants: Please use this calendar to notify us of all your performances for the upcoming season. Panelists attend performances until mid-May. Please add performances throughout the season, as soon as you know about them. Panelists are more likely to be able to view performances with advance notice.
We realize that Covid-19 has been challenging for theater artists and many artists have had fewer performance opportunities. Please note that although live performances are helpful to the panelists in getting to know your work, they are not the only factor. Two of the six panelists are specifically invited from outside of Minnesota, and therefore, will likely not have the opportunity to see applicants’ live performances. If you do not have any performances during the application cycle, you are still welcome to apply. You will submit a work sample and supporting materials which will be evaluated by the entire panel, and there are previous fellows who successfully applied without having any live work to share during the process.
We plan to provide two information sessions focused on writing artistic statements and one information session focused on creating a digital work sample, in partnership with Springboard for the Arts. We will let you know when these special sessions are scheduled. This is another reason to submit an intent to apply—everyone on that list will be notified about all working and information sessions.
NOTE: Please be sure that you have submitted and Intent to Apply before adding events to this calendar.
