McKnight Fellowships for Choreographers & Dancers

The Cowles Center is the current administrative home for the McKnight Fellowships for Choreographers & Dancers

McKnight Artist Fellowships deliver significant financial support to mid-career individuals whose work demonstrates artistic excellence. As a result, three Choreographer Fellows and three Dancer Fellows will individually receive $25,000 to set aside time to study, reflect, experiment, explore, and take advantage of an opportunity to work on a new project.
