ABOUT THE CLIVE BARNES FOUNDATION
The Clive Barnes Foundation supports young artists through recognition, encouragement, and financial support. Throughout his professional life, Clive Barnes was caring and generous to his colleagues and friends; always ready to advise and listen. After his passing, many letters of condolence spoke of his generosity and practical help, especially to young people. In this spirit, The Clive Barnes Foundation was formed in 2009 to create Annual Awards giving recognition, encouragement, and financial support to talented young professionals, one in Dance and one in Theatre, thus honoring the memory of the many years of critical work and the warm personal generosity of Clive Barnes and Valerie Taylor Barnes. The honored artists are selected at live performances by a panel of experts in each field.
