Sukanya Burman Dance invites applications from artists based in Western New York for Chaturanga | Art in Flux, a multidisciplinary, community-engaged arts program launching Fall 2025 in Jamestown, NY.

​

Chaturanga | Art in Flux offers quarterly showing and engagement opportunities where artists present low-tech works-in-progress and collaborate with audiences through interactive art-making sessions rooted in community themes.

 

Selected artists will receive a $500 honorarium and be paired with a dedicated mentor (up to 5 hours of mentorship) —  a curator, experienced artist, or cultural worker to support their creative process, offer feedback, and help shape the public presentation in our new radically inclusive venue the 2ndSpace (Jamestown NY). 

 

• Preference will be given to artists residing in Chautauqua county.

• Artists must be 18+ and based in Western New York.

 

Following disciplines welcome: dance/movement, performance, music, storytelling, spoken word, and interdisciplinary work.  

 

A diverse panel will review applications based on alignment with the program’s mission, clarity of artistic vision, and potential for community engagement.  

​

Apply by September 5. This opportunity is open to emerging and established artists alike.
