Grants are available in three categories:
- Research Support. Interested persons may submit a proposal to support a research project on the topic of innovation in small ensemble models. Funding may go toward travel, lodging, or other costs in order to complete the project. [But not food]
- Event Support. Individuals, ad hoc groups, and pre-formed ensembles may apply for support for cutting-edge events structured around the idea of an innovative ensemble. A short post-project report is required.
- New Initiative Support (for existing ensembles only). This funding category is intended to support new projects from existing ensembles that are not necessarily event-based; proposals for innovative concerts should be submitted under the Event Support category. Examples of new initiatives may include teaching residencies, outreach programs, and educational programs for the community. A short post-project report is required.
The Paul R. Judy Center’s research and programming emphasizes the 21st Century evolution of the innovative ensemble, influenced by both the symphony orchestra and the chamber music traditions, with a focus on creative, artist-centered ensembles that reflect new models of artistic innovation, organizational relationships, and operational sustainability.
