Call for Submissions - Artist Producer Training (APT)

This Call for Submissions has now closed.
Deadline:  Wednesday, May 23 @ 12pm

Generator welcomes artists, designers, collectives, non-profits and charities working across the performing arts to submit. We invite submissions from artistically and culturally diverse performing arts individuals and companies who want to participate and collaborate with Generator. Please note that our office is not fully accessible. Detailed accessibility information can be found here.

If you are an independent producer, self-producing artist, designer, or an artist who wants to learn how to make art happen more efficiently, Generator’s one-year paid Artist Producer Training program is for you.

Participants will learn effective producing strategies over the course of three semesters of coursework led by prominent seasoned independent artists and companies, followed by one practicum project with a mentor company. 
 
Graduates will create and implement projects and budgets that have the goal of paying a better wage to artists, gain skills to sustain a career in the arts, and improve the overall health of the performing arts ecology.

Here are some short videos about Generator's Artist Producer Training program.
