The Creative Artist Award

The Creative Artist Award recognizes original work in music, dance and theatre created by NC State
students. A committee of music, dance and theatre faculty annually reviews submissions of
original work in the fields of music, dance and theatre, and choose the artists who best exemplify
the award(s) for Creative Artist. The selected work(s) will be performed in the following academic year by the appropriate ARTS NC STATE performing arts program.

Each winning creative artist(s) receives $500 along with recognition in the following year’s ARTS NC
STATE playbill. A corresponding $1,000 grant is given to the appropriate program or department to
assist in the production of the selected work in performance by the Music Department, Dance Program and/or University Theatre.

The Performing Artist Award
The Performing Artist Award honors student performers in music, dance and theatre. Recipients of the Performing Artist Award are chosen through a departmental adjudication process rather than an application process.

 

Faculty in each performing arts area (music, dance and theatre) will choose the artist who best exemplifies the performance of the year. The students who will be considered for this award are any current full-time NC State student enrolled in a music, dance or theatre course and/or involved in a Music Department, Dance Program, or University Theatre production or performance.


Winners will be notified via email and announced on ncsu.edu/arts by May 3rd 2013.The winning
performing artist(s) will receive $500 and acknowledgement in the following year’s ARTS NC STATE
playbills. It is intended that the Performing Artist Award honor one student each in music, dance and theatre but the judges retain the right to award multiple winners in a single area or to make no award at all.
