New York Live Arts encourages discovery through education, exchange, and community programs. Through the lens of dance and the body of work performed on our stage and offsite, New York Live Arts hopes to develop socially aware citizens and artists capable of questioning deeply and making meaningful, creative, and innovative contributions to their society and world.

New York Live Arts invites you to become an Associate Artist. Join our innovative program dedicated to providing mid-career and emerging artists with the tools, support, and professional development they need to truly excel. The Associate Artist program draws on the resources of New York Live Arts to make it possible for artists to connect with larger audiences, raise funds to support their work and augment the visibility of dance in New York.
