The Knight Foundation Cultural Opportunity Fund provides Minnesota performing artists and ensembles the opportunity to receive financial support to produce an event in the Ordway’s Concert Hall.
To submit a proposal, develop an idea for a venue-appropriate event of any kind, and submit an application online. Full submission guidelines, FAQ, and application can be found at https://ArtsPartnership.org/KnightFund
Applicants must be based in Minnesota to be eligible. All submitted applications will be reviewed for feasibility, and evaluated by a panel of judges for:
– clearly articulated outreach strategies
– organizational capacity to execute a successful event
– productions that help fulfill the organization’s mission and/or advance the artist’s career
Venue-appropriate events could include, but are not limited to: concerts, film screenings, author readings, workshops, recordings, and/or lectures. Priority is given to proposals from emerging and mid-range performing arts organizations/ensembles, with an emphasis on cultural and artistic diversity.
Awardees will be notified in mid-March.
