Inception to Exhibition (ITE)

The 2014-15 season marks a very exciting milestone for ITE. This is our FIFTH YEAR of operation and to celebrate we have set a goal of raising $5,000 before the end of 2014.

During this season of giving we are asking for your support of our 2015 Artist Fund. The 2015 Artist Fund provides assistance for our current grant offerings. The money raised from this appeal helps us directly support these NYC-based artists through these new initiatives.

In addition to awarding three of our wildly successful Space Grants to help artists create new works, we have added two brand new programs to enhance the range of support we offer. The first is our Artistic Development Initiative a new partnership with Arts Management Consultant/Booking Agent Francine Sheffield. This program allows Francine to spend six months working with one of ITE’s affiliated artists to improve their company management and expand booking opportunities. Our second initiative is the Performance Stipend, which provides performance fees for artists who have upcoming performances but are unable to pay their participating artists.

Please consider making a donation that is right for you.
WE HOPE WE CAN COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT!

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED

and moved to 2015. As soon as we have the details of the new date we will let you know. We love the idea of getting our creative juices going with the ITE community and making crafts to share and gift to our friends and family. We will keep you posted on our progress, and look forward to seeing you at our first 2015 event featuring space grant recipient Bodystories: Teresa Fellion Dance.

On Friday December 12th we held a festive holiday gathering with ITE donors, supporters and artists to raise money and awareness for our mission of bringing artists together and supporting the creation of new work. We were so pleased with the turnout, the company of beautiful, enlightened, stylish, forward-thinking patrons of the arts and successfully raised money that will go toward supporting more ITE artists.

On November 8th we watched here there nowhere Julia’s Wilkins new dance on film short then sat down to a sub-continentally inspired meal prepared by our partners at Bhagavat Life. The film was part of Julia’s 2012 premiere at the Salomon Arts Gallery. The work investigates elements of mortality: birth, life, death, body, mind, and spirit. The production brings lighting effects, scrim fabric, and water together creating an image-driven environment for the character’s journey.

A mixed program of contemporary dance directed by David Norsworthy and Kristen Carcone featuring choreography and performances by established and new generation artists from NYC and Toronto. Designed to make contemporary dance accessible to new audiences, this program strikes a balance between innovation and entertainment.
