SUMMARY:Howard Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:The George A. and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation is an independent foundation administered at Brown University. It awards a limited number of fellowships each year for independent projects in selected fields\, targeting its support specifically to early mid-career individuals\, who have completed at least one major project and demonstrate potential to be future leaders in their fields. Please consult eligibility requirements for further information. \nArtists and scholars supported by the Howard Foundation are expected to devote a substantial portion of time during the fellowship year to advancing new work. Fellowship funds may be used in combination with sabbatical leaves or other sources of support\, but this is not a requirement. \nA total of ten fellowships of $40\,000 each will be awarded in April 2027 for 2026- 2027 in the fields of: \n\nWriting for Performance or Choreography\nTheatre\, Dance\, and Performance Studies\n\nHoward Fellowships are intended primarily to provide artists\, scholars\, and writers with time to complete their work. They are not intended for publication subsidies\, for equipment purchase\, for preparation of exhibits\, or to support institutional programs. \nELIGIBILITY \nCandidates should be able to answer “yes” to each of the following questions. If “no” is the correct answer to any of them\, they are asked to explain on the application form what special circumstances might make them eligible anyway\, given the requirements for a Howard Fellowship. \n\nCan your current professional status appropriately be viewed as “early mid-career” as understood by the Howard Foundation?Normally candidates for a Howard Fellowship will have completed their formal studies within the past five to fifteen years of the application date and should also have successfully completed at least one major project beyond degree requirements that would be sufficient for the awarding of tenure at higher education institutions or for achieving comparable peer recognition in creative practice fields\, e.g.\, through publication or exhibition. If not classically trained\, an artist should be within the frame of 5-15 years as an active professional in their career. Creative practitioners are not required to hold academic appointments. Candidates who are already nationally and internationally recognized leaders in their fields as reflected by their promotion to full professor or by comparable standing in creative fields are not normally eligible for a Howard Fellowship.\nWould a Howard Fellowship provide you with time off from other responsibilities to work on your proposed project?Our support is particularly intended to augment paid sabbatical leaves. In the case of independent artists or scholars\, or those without paid leaves\, we would expect that a Howard Fellowship would enable them to devote a substantial block of time to the proposed project. Howard Foundation Fellowships are unrestricted awards for the sole purpose of aiding the intellectual and artistic development of the recipients. The Howard Foundation has no funds to pay indirect costs\, so any decision about payment of benefits on the stipend would be a matter for you to resolve with the appropriate officials at your institution.\nAre you\, regardless of your citizenship\, currently living and working in the United States or U.S. Territories?\nDoes your proposed project fall within one of the fields established for this year’s round of applications?Given the limits of our resources\, we must adhere strictly to the fields announced each year for project proposals.\n\nDEADLINE: November 1\, 2026

SUMMARY:Asian American Ballet Project: Choreographer Residency Program
DESCRIPTION:In 2027\, AABP will celebrate our fifth anniversary by launching a new program for Asian American choreographers. Over the past four years\, we’ve found that very few Asian American choreographers have the chance to create work on professional ballet dancers\, and even fewer have set ballets on entirely AANHPI casts. We hope to take one step toward changing that by inviting Asian American choreographers of all experience levels to create new work during a residency with AABP. Along the way\, our community will play an important role: they will select the showcase repertoire\, offer feedback during the rehearsal process\, and ultimately recognize one choreographer with an Audience Favorite Award to support their future artistic work. \nELIGIBILITY \nAABP urges all interested Asian American-identifying choreographers to apply. Interested choreographers do not need to have presented work before as we would like to open this opportunity to those who may not have other doors open to them. However\, experienced choreographers are also welcome and should include a work sample of a recently presented ballet if possible. Past AABP choreographers are also welcome to apply. There are no age or location restrictions although out-of-state choreographers should be aware that housing and per diem are not included in the residency resources. \n

SUMMARY:New England States Touring (NEST 1 and 2)
DESCRIPTION:There are two distinct grant opportunities for the New England States Touring (NEST) program: NEST 1 and NEST 2. Organizations engaging rural communities and/or Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities are encouraged to apply. \nNEST 1\nFunds the public presentation and community engagement activities of a New England artist presented by a New England nonprofit organization based in a different New England state from the artist’s home state. \nNEST 2\nFunds the public presentation and community engagement activities of a New England artist presented by two New England nonprofit organizations. A NEST 2 tour must include one presenting organization based inside of the artist’s home state and one other organization from outside of the artist’s home state. \nBoth presenting organizations must complete their own application and both applications must be submitted for the same deadline. Both the in-state and out-of-state presenting organizations must have their grant applications approved in order to for all presenters to receive funding. If only the out-of-state partner’s application is approved for funding\, the engagement may be converted into a NEST 1 grant. \nA “presenter” is defined as an organization that financially compensates an artist/ensemble (where the artist/ensemble is a separate entity from the presenter) for performance(s) in the presenter’s community. Producing organizations that solely create artistic work or assemble artists to perform as ensembles for performances are not eligible to apply. Presenters may include arts centers\, festivals\, social service organizations\, libraries\, schools\, and more. \nThere are three application deadlines each year. They are the first business days of August\, December\, and April. In NEFA’s FY26 (June 1\, 2025 – May 31\, 2026)\, there will only be two deadlines: December 1\, 2025 and April 1\, 2026.\nPresenting organizations may submit a maximum of two NEST 1 and/or NEST 2 applications\, in any combination\, per deadline .\nGrants provide up to 60% of the artist fee and range from $500 to a maximum of $5\,000. Artists’ fees may include costs for creation of new work\, travel\, and per diem.\nApplications with artist fees under $2\,000 may request the full artist fee.\nThe artist must be listed as NEST-Eligible on the CreativeGround directory.\nOrganizations may submit a maximum of two NEST 1 and/or NEST 2 applications\, in any combination\, per deadline. NEST grants are awarded through a competitive selection process\, and the amount of funding awarded is based on the extent to which the project meets the funding criteria. Many applicants receive partial funding and should be prepared to meet the artist fee with other funding sources. \nELIGIBILITY: \nBe a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization\, school\, federally recognized Indian tribal government\, or unit of state or local government. (Nonprofit organizations do not have to be arts organizations. Organizations that do not have a federal tax identification number may apply if part of an official government agency). Fiscal agents cannot be funded through NEST. \nBe based in New England (Connecticut\, Maine\, Massachusetts\, New Hampshire\, Rhode Island\, and Vermont). \nHave a Unique Entity ID in SAM.gov. The federal government requires that all NEFA organizational grant recipients supported by federal funds register for a SAM.gov UEI (Unique Entity ID). Getting a UEI is a free process and can be done by visiting SAM.gov. Read our blog post with more details. \nProvide documentation of their compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Please visit our Arts & Accessibility page for details. \nMaintain an updated profile in the CreativeGround directory for their cultural nonprofit. (For assistance\, see the CreativeGround profile tips page\, and aim for a profile score of 16.) If the applicant nonprofit is not a cultural or arts-based organization\, please contact Audrey Seraphin (she/her/hers) to confirm your organization’s qualification for a CreativeGround profile. \nPresent a public presentation of the artist/ensemble named in the application. A public presentation is defined as an event that is open to the public and advertised accordingly. The presentation must feature the artistic work of the named artist/ensemble.\nA public presentation for literary projects must include a public reading by the NEST-eligible artist.\nA public presentation for film projects must include a public film screening with the NEST-eligible artist/filmmaker. \nUPCOMING DEADLINE: April 1st\, 2026
