Inaugural New England Dance Fund Awardees

The New England Dance Fund awarded $25,000 in grants to the 28 inaugural grantees across all six New England states.  The  fund  was established in 2016 with the support of the Aliad Fund at the Boston Foundation in order to provide resources to New England's choreographers to build their professional networks and skills, and take advantage of artistic opportunities.
