Artist Incubator
Our incubator program is designed to carve out spaces for artists to hone their craft, learn from their colleagues, and invest in themselves and their peers.
We’re not currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 artist incubator program.
With the input of our Advisory Team, we’ll select ten outstanding artists from the pool of applicants: two emcees, two songwriters, two instrumental musicians, two storytellers, and two visual artists.
Our featured artists will receive:
Professional development opportunities
Inclusion in the ten’s 2025 programming, events, content, and marketing
Networking opportunities with collaborative partners / affiliate companies
Marketing kits for use on their personal social media / websites
Applications open September 2024.
Artists don’t create in a vacuum.
Community isn’t built in a silo. It was important to us that we sought input from the voices of other storytellers, artists and musicians in our community.
We’re deeply grateful to the ten’s advisory team for offering their thoughts and counsel regarding the curation and development of our artist incubator program.
