The Kevin Spacey Foundation: (KSF) Artists of Choice Awards have launched and we are looking to fund emerging dance artists. We want to hear from anyone forging a career for themselves with an exciting, creative and unique project.

Applications are open to artists resident in the UK, USA; and for the first time this year, Canada made possible by a partnership with KSF and Manjy and David Sidoo and the support of The Sidoo Family Giving Foundation.

The KSF Artists of Choice Awards will be made to four UK-based, four US-based and four Canada-based artists or companies, each will receive up £10,000 or $10,000 in funding, year-round in-kind support from KSF and an industry mentor. 

A panel of respected creatives will help to select the recipients. Last year’s panel included ZooNation’s Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, Wayne McGregor | Random Dance’s Wayne McGregor, American Ballet Theatre’s Kevin McKenzie, New Adventures’ Etta Murfitt, English National Ballet’s Tamara Rojo, choreographer and producer Lee Smikle and Jasmin Vardimon Dance Company’s Jasmin Vardimon.
