HERE ARTS CENTER, New York City, received a two-year grant of $44,000 in support of the HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP). From its home in Lower Manhattan, HERE builds a community that nurtures career artists as they create innovative hybrid live performance in theatre, dance, music, puppetry, media, and visual art. For more than 20 years, HERE has come to occupy a unique and essential place in the landscape of downtown theatre, and to be known as a destination for audiences who are passionate about groundbreaking contemporary work and the creative process behind it. HERE’s signature program, the HERE Artist Residency Program, supports the singular vision of a diverse roster of Resident Artists through commissions, long-term development, and a quality production, all of which strengthen their careers for the long-term.
