“Theatre is a voyage into the archives of the human imagination” - Natasha Tsakos

Sometimes a specific work of art created by a dancer, a musician, an actor, a writer, is unfinished unless it has one more added and important piece: an audience. Café Royal Cultural Foundation NYC awards performance grants to individuals focused on the production of theater, dance, and performance art.

Description: Café Royal Cultural Foundation NYC will award a Performance Grant to individuals focused on the production of theatre, dance and performance art (all of which can be accompanied by music).

Submissions: To ensure that each submission receives the attention it deserves we will be only accepting 40 applications for each of our categories.
