EmcArts Invites Proposals From Performing Arts Organizations for Innovation Lab Program

With support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, EmcArts is accepting proposals for its Innovation Lab for the Performing Arts, an immersion program designed to help arts groups facing major adaptive challenges to incubate and test organization-level innovations.

Proposals are now being accepted for round eight of the performing arts lab. To be eligible, groups must be producing and presenting organizations (including college-based presenters) in theater, dance, and jazz. Applications from more than one organization to explore a partnership, collaborative venture, or merger are also welcome.

The program provides accommodation and meals for all participants during a five-day retreat, as well as a contribution of up to $425 per person toward travel costs. The program also provides up to $3,000 per organization toward the expense of bringing a consultant to the retreat, and up to $1,200 per organization to provide stipends for unsalaried members on the program team to attend the retreat. Program teams also are eligible for grants of $30,000 toward project prototyping, plus $9,000 in unrestricted operating support, to maintain organizational momentum toward implementation and to assist with critical follow-up activities (each organization will take responsibility for funding the full implementation of its new strategy).

Visit the EmcArts Web site for the complete Request for Proposals, application procedures, and information about the projects of previous lab participants.
