Emerging Artist Fellowship Program
Arts on the Horizon’s Emerging Artist Fellowship program is designed to provide professional pathways for collegiate or early-career BIPOC artists interested in Theater for the Very Young (TVY), physical theater, and object transformation. As the only theatre in the DC area focused exclusively on producing TVY, AOTH’s fellowship provides a unique professional experience.
Launched in 2018, the emerging artist fellowship program pivoted in the 2020-21 season to specifically uplift early-career BIPOC artists. Fellows have the opportunity to work on one or more productions in the season, and can design their own fellowship experience rather than focusing on a single area. The program offers personalized training and hands-on experience creating and working on a TVY production.
In addition to the professional experiences throughout the season, fellows participate in professional development and work closely with AOTH’s artists. They are also invited to meet one-on-one with AOTH staff and company members to learn more about their work and TVY, ask for career advice, and build professional relationships.
Fellowships are offered for the following sessions: Fall (Late October-December), Winter (January-March), Spring (April-June), and Summer (July-August). Fellows can apply to work in one or more of the listed time periods. Hours are part-time and vary depending on the project and area of focus, but we anticipate no more than 50-60 hours per session. Arts on the Horizon staff will work with each fellow to design a mutually agreeable schedule based on their needs and the needs of the project.
Compensation: Fellows are paid $15/hour.

Arts on the Horizon’s 2022-23 season Emerging Artist program is funded in part by an Aurand Harris Theatre Grant from the Children's Theatre Foundation of America.
Aurand Harris Grants and Fellowships are made possible through an endowment established by the late Aurand Harris and administered by the Childrens Theatre Foundation of America. Aurand Harris, one of this nation’s most published and performed playwrights for children and youth, enormously enriched the literature of American children’s theatre. Plays such as “Androcles and the Lion,” translated into 10 languages, “The Arkansaw Bear.” “The Toby Show.” “Rags to Riches.” and “To Ride a Blue Horse.” are but a few of his plays that fill stages in this country and abroad. Harris’s writings, informed by his studies in Kansas and at Northwestern University and by his teaching initially, in the Gary, IN school system, and subsequently, for over thirty years at Grace School in New York, have captured the spirit and interests of children for generations. Harris had a deep concern for artists, particularly playwrights, who devote their careers to creating quality theatre for young audiences, and for theatres who produce theatre for children. Through his foresight and generosity, the Childrens Theatre Foundation of America has been able to establish Aurand Harris Fellowships for artists serving young people and grants for small and mid-sized theatres throughout America. We congratulate Arts on the Horizon for being an Aurand Harris 2022- 2023 Grant recipient.
