ADDITIONAL INFO:
Made possible by the generous support of the Ford Foundation, the purpose of the Fellowship Program is to recognize the critical role that disabled dance workers and arts practitioners play in social justice movements and to ensure that these workers are supported while continuing to place disability front and center as a positive artistic and generative force. Dance/NYC recognizes that, despite the multiple ways disabled communities have been and continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and ongoing racial violence, disabled dance workers have remained active in serving their communities through online and in-person programming and community organizing efforts, often without compensation or funding.
 

Plain Language
The Disability. Dance. Artistry. Dance and Social Justice Fellowship Program will give money to disabled dance workers who live in the New York City area. The program is focused on things related to dance and/or social justice (like racial or disability justice) that disabled individuals have done between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023.

What It Means For You
If you are a disabled individual who was involved in dance and/or social justice in the last year and you live in the New York City area, this program might give you money.
