2007 McKnight Artists Fellows Gallery

Congratulations to the 2007 McKnight Artists Fellows in Dance and Choreography.

Each year three dancers and three choreographers are selected to receive prestigious McKnight Artists Fellowships. These awards are designed to recognize mid-career Minnesota dance artists who have achieved sustained excellence in their work. Chosen by a knowledgeable panel of dance artists and arts professionals, these six artists are recognized as exceptional dance artists, and in a community rich with choreographic and performing talent, this is no small compliment. Each fellowship recipient receives a $25,000 cash award and other benefits to help them move forward in their work.

The McKnight Artists Fellowships for Choreographers and Dancers are funded by The McKnight Foundation and administered by the Southern Theater.

We at the Southern Theater would like to extend our thanks to The McKnight Foundation for their generous support of the dance community in Minnesota through the Fellowship program. We are honored to be part of the thriving arts community in Minnesota, nurtured in large part through the generosity of the McKnight Fellowships awarded in 12 artistic disciplines.

Special thanks to those who have served on McKnight Fellowship selection panels over the years. Their thoughtful and conscientious work in the face of the difficult task of choosing a handful of deserving artists in a community of many deserving artists is truly appreciated.
