The Emerge Arts 2022 Cohort and Showcase
This showcase highlights works created by BIPOC LGBTQ+ performing artist participants in the Emerge Arts Cohort, which provides production support, creative mentorship, and business and sustainability training. Five artists were chosen for the cohort by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ established artists in Seattle via an open application, and this exciting showcase represents the culmination of the program with filmed translations of each artist’s live works.
