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 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 January 9. This opportunity is open to emerging and established artists alike.
Chaturanga | Art in Flux is supported by funding through ASI WNY’s Creative Impact Fund, established in 2024 through a New York State Senate initiative to increase equitable access to arts funding across Western New York.
