About: The Experimental Institute is a fully immersive summer intensive that brings together a cohort of highly accomplished musical performing artists and activators in various stages of their careers, from talented students to renowned professionals. Institute programming is centered around collaborative exploration and learning, personal well-being, community resilience, and artistic excellence, with a curricular focus on project incubation, mentorship, and transformative institutional pedagogy. The Ei serves as a powerful prototyping and seed-planting space centered on holistic approaches to career-building and collective liberation. Now in its third year, The Experimental Institute is a 100% tuition-free, all-expenses-paid fellowship, thanks to community support through ACF fundraising and small local grants.
We encourage all applicants to thoroughly peruse the “About the Experimental Institute” page on our website and to read through our Community Agreements before applying.
