The Foundation supports the creation and production of new works by emerging
choreographers through general operating support grants to their dance companies, and
through commissions, workshops and production funding.
Literature
The Foundation supports the creation of new works of poetry, fiction and creative
nonfiction by emerging literary artists through independent press publications,
writers-in-residence programs, mentoring, fellowships, career initiatives and, on a very
limited basis, readings.
Media Arts
The Foundation supports emerging media artists producing new works in all genres,
with an emphasis on experimental work. Production grants are made to individual artists
residing in Minnesota and New York City. The Foundation supports creative work in film,
video, audio, interactive formats, on-line programming and new media. The Foundation does
not support education, exhibition, broadcast and distribution. Limited funding is
available for media artists' service organizations.
Multidisciplinary Work
The Foundation supports creative artists who work across disciplines through
commissions, research and development subsidies and production grants.
