Nine local organizations have come together to offer a “one-stop shop” event for Chicago dance artists to learn about the many grants, artistic and professional development, creative entrepreneurship, residency, and presentation opportunities available in 2021.
Collecting. Hibernating. Emerging. Share your plans for the new year and your recommendations for resources. Hear from leaders in the field with a national perspective and words for creative revitalization. Take some time to join your fellow artists in a moment of hibernation and body/mind restoration and to garner the seeds of a new vision for dance in Chicago post COVID-19.
This FREE event is open to everyone involved in the Chicago dance community, and will be Captioned (English).
