$6,500 stipend + $6,500 artistic development fund; 2025-26 prototype year added a one-week technical residency

The 2025-26 cohort (Jasmine Sharma and Jean Carlo Yunen Arostegui) served as a prototyping year, and NYTW is not accepting 2026-27 applications while it re-conceives the program with more financial resources. A separate 2050 Administrative Fellowship for staff roles continues.
Early-career artists who author or direct work, including solo performers; must be based in/relocate to NYC; not full-time students; underrepresented voices encouraged.
