BARYSHNIKOV ARTS Residencies + Fellowships
Baryshnikov Arts Residencies support artists by providing space for creative investigation in all performing arts disciplines: dance, music, theater, multimedia, performance art, or any combination thereof. Each year, Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) hosts up to 20 artists in residence to develop ideas, projects, and collaborations. Support can include use of BAC’s studios and theaters, work-in-progress showings, artist honoraria, and technical and administrative services. Baryshnikov Arts Residencies provide a pressure-free environment for artists, who are encouraged to focus on their current priorities without the expectation of delivering a finished product.
In 2024, Baryshnikov Arts is offering 1 and 2-week Artist Residencies for dance, music, theater, performance art, and multimedia artists.
Baryshnikov Arts is no longer accepting applications for 2024 — the submission limit has been reached.
Applicants will receive notification by December, 2023.
