co-production program

The Dairy Arts Center’s Co-Production Program is designed to support presenting bold, original, and collaborative work by expanding access and reducing financial barriers to emerging and innovative artists. As Boulder’s premier multidisciplinary arts center, the Dairy invites local, regional, and national artists and organizations to co-produce performances in theater, dance, music, film, and more—offering free venue rental, a production stipend of up to $5,000, and an equitable revenue-sharing model. This opportunity is ideal for those seeking to connect with new audiences and bring creative ideas to life in a collaborative and supportive environment. Whether you’re an established presenter or emerging artist, we encourage you to apply and be part of a program that champions creative risk and cultural inclusion.

Purpose:

The Dairy Arts Center provides diverse opportunities to create, learn, and engage in high quality performing, cinematic, and visual arts experiences. As Boulder’s premier multidisciplinary arts center, the goal of the Dairy Arts Co-Production Program is to offer the local, regional, and national arts community expanded access and affordability by providing low risk opportunities to perform at the Dairy Arts Center and engage new audiences through innovative, underrepresented, and emerging art forms.
