Through this open application, NCCAkron will welcome a new CAR cohort of up to three Artist Teams. Teams include the Artist, a curated Thought Partner, and NCCAkron team members. Each Artist Team engages in Investigative Retreats to reflect on their body of work, examine critical pain points across operations, and imagine multiple ways forward.
Questions?

NCCAkron’s Creative Administration Research (CAR) aims to challenge the dance ecosystem to think beyond the boundaries of known, traditional models.
In 2022 and 2023, all active Artist Teams gathered in Akron, OH for Summit Convenings to exchange experiences and working knowledge accumulated to date.
Look back at the 2022 CAR Summit Convening and the 2023 CAR Summit Convening.
CAR is made possible through lead support from the Mellon Foundation.
