This ADA members’ program is a great opportunity to network, dialogue, and share perspectives. Eligible activities and events include (but are not limited to) keynote speeches, workshops, conferences, symposia, showcase performances, debates, panels, academic paper presentations, and digital presentations. This opportunity is available year-round to support professional development for groups to network, develop greater understanding in their community, and to enrich the development of their dance art form. What separates this program from our Community Workshop Grant is the fact that this program is not for technique-based workshops. Support for successful applications may be given as financial and/or administrative assistance.

Deadline: Ongoing

 

How to Apply

    • Attachments with as much project planning, budget and programming detail as possible, at whatever stage you happen to be in with your process.
  2. We will then contact you with further details and requirements, based upon the particulars of your concept.
