Buddies are offering three Queer Emerging Artist Awards to assist emerging artists to focus on their artistic practice and deepen their connection to 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Three $1500 awards will be disbursed to queer emerging artists in any live performance discipline. The funding is not tied to a project or specific outcome, and can be spent as you wish.
The Buddies Queer Emerging Artist Award recognises and encourages the achievements of queer artists who are founding careers in the theatre while engaging with the community. Originally made possible by a gift from the estate of John Alan Lee, this year the awards are supported through a generous donation from House of Beida Inc. and The Calvin Cox Memorial Fund.
Applications for the 2024–25 awards are open until August 31, 2024.
