Curated by Kemi Adeyemi, Roya Amirsoleymani, and Fox Whitney, these eight artists were selected from more than 85 highly competitive proposals we received in Fall 2024. The curators focused on artists with compelling visions and innovative creative practices that enrich the fabric of Northwest performance. We owe them immense gratitude for their time, vision, and dedication to this process.
The return of NWNW is made possible through generous support by the Raynier Foundation and John C. Robinson.
