The Creation & Development Fund supports the creation, development, and mobility of new artistic work that advances racial and cultural justice and results in live experiential exchange between artists and community.

Artists apply for the Creation Fund with a team consisting of at least two arts organizations (co-commissioners) led by a NPN National Partner. Each commissioner contributes a $2,000–$3,000 cash match and agrees to present the work once it has been created. NPN matches these funds so that every Creation Fund artist receives a minimum of $12,000 of project funding.

DEADLINE: May 22, 2023 for Phase 1: Creation Fund
