Since 2008, the program has distributed $310,000 to 36 performing artists. Winners receive $10,000 unrestricted funding, critical recognition, public exposure, and a professional taping of their performance at Charlotte Street.
Two unrestricted cash grants of $10,000 annually to performing artists.
Artists must reside within an 80 mile radius of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, have lived in this area for at least one year, and must not be full-time students.
Recipients are selected based on the quality of their work and accomplishments to date, their promise for continued creation and development as generative artists, and the relevance of their work in relation to the broader field of contemporary art and performance.
A jury panel composed of local, regional, and national artists and culture workers is responsible for selecting the award recipients each year.
