The city’s Artist Access Program is now accepting applications from emerging and established performance artists for its Fiscal Year 2023 program. The program, which “provides free or low-cost use of space, available equipment and staff expertise to artists and musicians through an annual adjudicated process,” was created from a Council directive to use hotel tax funds to expand hours at city-owned cultural centers. Artists and arts organizations benefit from expanded rehearsal hours as well as the opportunity to produce public performances for free or at a reduced rental fee of $1 per ticket sold. Find more details here and an application here. The deadline to apply is Dec. 15.
