If you are a NYC-based artist working in performance, then please invite us to any upcoming showings you may have. We can be reached at exponentialfestival[at]gmail[dot]com. 

 

We curate through a mix of invitations and applications and prioritize flexibility and sustainability in our programming practice. In some years, this means we open an application in the spring and invite a curation team to vote on applications. In other years, this means we invite artists whose work we're familiar with and keep the curation panel smaller. 

​

In a traditional year, Exponential provides our artists with the following:

​

• A stipend

  • In EF25 this is a base rate of $500 + $150 per week in residence.

• Publicity of the show at major New York news outlets leading up to the festival.

• Free videography.

• Free photography.

• A box-office split agreement at all venues.​

• A venue manager to help liaise between the show and the venue, to coordinate a site visit, and run communication between the artist and the venue as the production evolves.

• MFTA access, scheduled by appointment.

• Free technicians at select venues.

• Volunteer accident and general liability insurance on union productions.

• A grant-writing workshop.

• An unlimited amount of phone calls, texts, and emails consulting on producing questions.

​

Please be aware that the artist is responsible for filing any union paperwork (if necessary), scheduling, rehearsing, and financing the show. We hope that by offering the resources above, it will create a more ideal producing opportunity than otherwise.
