The Creative Residency For Black Puppeteers

We at Puppet Showplace Theater, believe that it is vital that all children — and grown-ups! — have access to arts, especially art made by artists that look like them. The Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers has invested in new works by 15 Black artists since 2020 by supporting creative research at the earliest stage of production development. Your gift of $1000 covers one artist’s micro-grant in full. Your gift of $10,000 underwrites the Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers for one full year. Your gift of any amount invests in Black artists, and gives audiences the gift of seeing a diverse world depicted on stage. Give today to help create a future where the puppetry artists on stage — at Puppet Showplace and beyond — reflect the rich diversity of our city, our country, and our world!
