About Open Performance:
A program of non-curated shared showings of experimentation and work-in-process, for artists at all stages of their development selected through a randomized lottery. The events are centered around a moderated discussion between the artists and audience providing an opportunity to experiment with different feedback methods to support and inform the artists’ process.
Open Performance artists are selected through a lottery system.
Open Performance events will take place in October, November and December 2026 at the Movement Research Studios at 122 Cultural Center. These events are open to the public.
