What: Small easy-to-apply-for grants designed to help Triangle theater-makers pay artists. Awarded to 15 Triangle theater artists and organizations for the 2023-24 season.
Total Grantees: 15
Total Awarded: $7,500
In 2023, we talked with area theater artists and supporters, reevaluated our granting processes and goals, and explored ways to better serve the needs of the Triangle theater community. As a first experiment, we offered The 20-Minute Grant– an easy-to-apply-for $500 grant designed to help theater-makers pay artists for upcoming projects.
We received 27 applications. These were evaluated by an independent panel of four Triangle theater artists who selected 15 recipients.
