Opportunity for Performing Arts Presenters and Artists
EmcArts Announces Request for Proposals for the Third Round of the Innovation Lab for the Performing Arts
Designed and managed by EmcArts, with support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Innovation Lab for the Performing Arts is a nine- to twelve-month program designed to help performing arts organizations in the fields of presenting, theater, dance, and jazz incubate and test innovative strategies to address major challenges.

Patterned after NPN's model performing arts program, the Visual Artists Network was launched in 2007 as a pilot, and in 2009 the program was formally established through the induction of the VAN Partners, fifteen leading contemporary arts organizations from across the United States.
The boundaries between the performing and visual arts are more than blurred: "Performance art" on the stage and "installations" in a gallery. Using the residency model of a touring performing artist, VAN is a way for the visual artist to engage in community.
