Artist of Color Performance Residency Program

The NCCC/NPN Artist of Color Performance Residency Project is a partnership between the National Performance Network and the Network of Cultural Centers of Color that subsidizes the touring of work by artists of color across the United States. The program is intended to expand the pool of artists of color who are presented in the United States and enables artists to reach out to new communities through Performance Residencies.

Who Can Apply

Artists must live at least 100 miles out of the presenting community where the Performance Residency is taking place. See subsidy guidelines for more eligibility criteria.
