Through the generous support of the Heimbinder Family Foundation, Dance Source Houston is pleased to provide production funding to our member organizations through the Production Grant program. The Production Grant program has been designed to make it simple for individual artists and organizations within DSH's membership to receive financial support to help offset costs associated with producing their work.
Now in its fourth year, the program
will provide grants distributed over the course of the 2017-2018 performance
season. The submission period will begin November 10, 2017 and will close when funds have been depleted.
Successful applications will request funding for production or technical elements that will create a meaningful impact on the production value of the performance that would otherwise be unattainable without the grant funds.
Maximum grant request amount: $750
