Encore Studio for the Performing Arts announced that it has been awarded a two-year, $200,000 grant from the Ruth Foundation for the Arts in support of a major preservation and legacy project.
Ten projects were selected overall by a national jury for their emphasis on public knowledge sharing and uplifting historically underrepresented communities, their commitment to equitable partnerships and for encouraging creative change in the region.
Encore’s 25 Years of Original, Dynamic Theatre for People with Disabilities was selected for a Wisconsin Special Project Grant. This funding will support Encore’s efforts to preserve and share its body of original, disability-led theatre. The project will include a digital archive, a published book of selected scripts and recordings of past productions.
