Encourage artists' entrepreneurial efforts to re-enter and rebuild the performing arts field.

Together, we can help artists rebuild their careers in supportive, flexible, and entrepreneurial ways, through:

• Artist Rebuilding Blocks: A planned offering of holistic, customizable support for artists once they can safely re-enter the field and get back into studios, stages, shelters, and schools. Gibney is working directly with artists to identify their needs, which may include stipends, subsidized rehearsal space and training, professional development and mentorship, digital media support and equipment, public engagement opportunities, child care, mental health resources, and more.
• Advocacy Fellowships: Projects that leverage the entrepreneurial skills of Gibney Company Artistic Associates to meet the emerging needs of the dance field, including free mental health resources and digital interviews with artists, arts workers, and arts leaders to connect the field
• Moving Toward Justice: Virtual, in-depth incubation of six new arts + social action projects that are poised to transform our sector
• Continued COVID-19 responsive programming, such as: Gibney Online Studio. digital media training, repertory streaming, digital performance and engagement, artist interviews, workshops with survivors, programming for youth, and COVID-19 resource lists for the artistic community, survivors, youth, and schools
