Now in its third season, New Works: An Arts Commission Project is an initiative by the Center for the Performing Arts (CPA) to promote and sustain central Indiana’s working artists and arts communities in an inclusive way by supporting the creation of new works across all performing arts disciplines.
Commissions will be awarded for three selected projects to be developed and presented onstage at the Center’s Tarkington theater for an on-site and online audience on June 1, 2024.
- Application deadline: Sept. 15, 2023
- Awards announced: January 2024
- Performance date: June 1, 2024
Each awardee will create a new work to premiere at a joint event on the Tarkington stage, and will receive a $2,500 award, technical support for the performance, and a professional-quality video of the performance for future use by the artist.
In celebrating artists’ voices here in central Indiana, CPA promotes more diverse, connected, and thriving communities. The core theme of the new works must align with one or more of the Center’s Core Values: Integrity, Excellence, Innovation, Collaboration, and Inclusion.
