Subsidized Rehearsal Rates at Gibney
Gibney provides subsidized rehearsal rates for non-profit and independent dance artists. This is made possible by generous support from Dance/NYC’s New York City Dance Rehearsal Space Subsidy Program, made possible by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts.
Gibney will be offering a total of 405 hours of $10/hr subsidized space each month, starting in June 2023, through the remainder of 2023. Artists can begin requesting these hours once the non-profit dance rehearsal calendar of availability opens up each month. This distribution is on a first come first serve basis. Once the 405 hours have been given out for that given month, the subsidy opportunity will pause and will resume when the following month’s calendar opens.
In order to extend these hours to as many artists as possible, each artist is limited to 16 hours of subsidized space in 2023.
All renters should complete the 2022 Artist Registration Form the first time they rent their rehearsal space using these new Dance/NYC subsidized rehearsal rates. If you already filled out the survey in the first round, you do not need to fill it out again. The survey collects renters’ emails for the purposes of tracking completion, but the demographic data collected will remain confidential to Dance/NYC’s fullest extent. Information collected through the registration form will only be used in an anonymized aggregated form.
To book subsidized rehearsal space, please create or login to your Gibney Rental account and complete the Non-Profit Dance Rehearsal Request form. Please note that you are requesting subsidized rates in the “Additional Requests” portion of your form in order to have this discount applied.
