Eclectic Emerging
Eclectic Box's aim is to be home to a variety of performers and troupes as well as welcoming emerging artists and groups.
One of the largest hurdles for upcoming artists is obtaining funding for a project and theatre rental cost. In order to alleviate roadblocks and to help foster a creative community, Eclectic Box will offer discounted rates to emerging artists who meet the criteria. An artist or group selected for the Eclectic Emerging program will also have access to mentoring opportunities as they arise and the support of Eclectic Box's board and staff.
Decisions will be made on a case by case basis and we will be using the metric listed below. The artist or group applying for this program must meet at least two of the criteria to be eligible for consideration. Please note that applying does not guarantee a spot. We would love to be able to include everyone who needs this into the program but unfortunately space is limited.
If you are interested in applying, please send us an email with some info about you and/or your company.
