Applying for the Park Event Commission
The Gasworks Park Event Commission is Gasworks Arts Park's professional development opportunity to create a new piece of site specific work to take place outside in Gasworks Arts Park. Gasworks will be providing funding for a three month development period from September to November 2020, culminating in a developmental preview showing of the work to an invited audience. Gasworks will engage a professional mentor to work with the selected artist or ensemble during the development period and to provide feedback after the preview showing. There will also be opportunity for Gasworks to produce the new piece of work with the selected artist for a public season in late summer 2021.
