ABOUT
The Right Here Showcase is a mini-festival of contemporary performance - dance, music, theater, art - that showcases, highlights, and supports Minnesota-based mid-career performing artists who create original work. Each year, through a public call for proposals, review by a Selection Panel made up of past Showcase Artists, and individual curation by the Artistic Producer, 4 artists are awarded a $1000 commission, and technical and marketing support to create a new work, significantly re-envision a past work, or complete a current work. Selected Artists will perform 4 times over one of the two weekends.
The Right Here Showcase
fills a gap in the local arts community by providing an annual juried platform to support Minnesota-based
mid-career contemporary performing artists, and introduce new audiences to their work.
“In our community there are a lot of opportunities for emerging talents and support for established artists, but no platform that specifically addresses artists in the middle of their careers. Yet nearly every significant artistic community has some juried festival that focuses on, or at least includes local and regional artists on the same bill as their national and international counterparts. I believe there is a real niche and a real need for a festival like this, a festival based on mature local independent performance creators, and these artists are right here in the Twin Cities for us to recognize and to celebrate.” – Paul Herwig
