Commissions
Organizations may request support for one Theatre Commission and/or one Composer Commission per year. Artists who have received support from the Program may not apply for a new project in the following year. In addition, producing, presenting, or performing organizations that received commissioning support for their own organizational activity may not apply in that discipline in the following year. Theatre Artist Commissions Registration deadline:
January 22, 2010 Applications may be made by theatre companies or presenting organizations. Unaffiliated artists and unincorporated ensembles must apply under the sponsorship of an eligible New York State nonprofit organization. Funding is directed toward the commissioned artist's creative fee, exclusive of production expenses or other costs related to the project. Requests for artists currently on staff of the applicant organization are a low funding priority. Composer Commissions Registration deadline:
January 22, 2010 Requests may be initiated by musical or presenting organizations and artists, or companies (under the sponsorship of a nonprofit organization) that are commissioning work for dance, theatre, or film, video, or radio scores. Requests for composers on staff of the applicant organization are generally a low funding priority. Evaluative Criteria Sponsoring organization's ability to carry out the project, including capacity to ensure a workshop or performance in the near future, if applicable Relationship and suitability of the project to the artistic goals and philosophy of the sponsoring organization/commissioning company, including the suitability of the work to the performing group Appropriateness of the proposed artist fee and track record of completing projects Application Instructions The on-line application form includes the following questions, and a project budget.
