Blog - Long Distance / Online Collaboration

Building off our last Community Forum, we invited the NET community to gather again on Friday, September 3, 2021 around the remote connections made by individual and ensemble members this year.

Through NET's Summer 2021 NET/TEN Virtual Exploration Grants, NET has provided support to a breadth of their members to build relationships across distance and further community healing, reflection, and learning. NET awarded $100,000 in funding to 118 ensembles and individual artists across 25 states and Puerto Rico.

With obstacles to gathering, NET was able to adapt our NET/TEN travel grants in Spring 2020 and Winter 2020/21 to micro-grants supporting virtual relationship building and artistic exploration among artists sheltering-in-place.  Here are our NET/TEN Winter 2020/21 Remote Connection recipients.
