One of NPN’s primary objectives is to support artists’ ability to move their work around the country and the world, to reach new audiences and communities. A second key objective is to facilitate the development of new work, to support NPN Partners’ ability to commission fresh, exciting creations and collaborations.  These goals are achieved through NPN’s subsidy programs:  Performance Residency, Community Fund, Mentorship & Leadership Initiative, Creation Fund, and the Performing Americas Program (PAP).

This is where we highlight NPN Partner projects that have received subsidies.  Click on the title of the project to link to its description.
