Black Futures Artist-in-Residence Program Application Deadline is THIS FRIDAY!
Zaccho Dance Theatre’s Black Futures Artist-in-Residence Program is open to diverse voices, emerging and established, called to express the Black experience through an arts practice that inspires dialogue and builds community. Our goal is to support artists at all points of their process and to give them an opportunity to conduct in depth research without the pressure of presenting a completed work by the end of the residency.
Application Deadline: August 18, 2023 at midnight PT
