EXPLORE THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL PROGRAMMINGA new programming initiative at SummerWorks, the Associate Artists program provides an opportunity for three (3) artists or companies to come into a more intimate, supportive, and long-term engagement with the organization. At its core, the program is designed to offer tangible supports for selected artists or companies, over the course of two years.
SummerWorks will present each Associate Artist within two summer Festivals, and support the development of their creative projects. The program is iterative by design, with responsive opportunities for research, collaboration, and public engagement in each Festival context, and throughout the year.
We are thrilled to announce the three (3) artists/companies for 2025/26 – Chimerik 似不像, The Switch Collective, and Johnnie McNamara Walker.
Uncover more about the 2025/26 Associate Artists, and take a glimpse at what they’re planning for this year’s Festival…
LEARN MORESummerWorks is dedicated to nurturing artistic risk and innovation in contemporary performance.
By engaging with artists from a place of care and curiosity, leading with the question “How can we best support you?”, SummerWorks creates the conditions that allow for artistic exploration and collaboration.
As a member of our Festival community, you are a key collaborator in the creation of new work. Not only are you among the first to witness and experience these performances, your donations help ensure that this work happens in the first place.
Less than 10% of our budget is derived from ticket sales. And, like so many performing arts organizations, we continue to experience the impacts of the pandemic, as one-time special project and emergency relief funds disappear. Now more than ever, we rely on the generosity of individuals like you.
