Movement & Music Salon
Welcome to The Aangan Lab's 2023 Movement & Music Salon application!

The Aangan Lab is a program for the intentional development of artistic works. The Lab provides opportunity for artists to meet fellow creators, mentors, and audiences to learn, discuss, collaborate, and ultimately re-imagine the creative process. 

Aangan co-founders and panelists will select up to 4 movement artists to be paired with 4 musicians to develop a 5-minute presentation that will be showcased on June 3rd, 2023. 

In addition to giving artists an opportunity to collaborate and make new work, the Movement & Music Salon will provide multiple opportunities for feedback from mentors, peers, and eventually audience members in the fine arts space. 

Criteria for participation in the Movement & Music Salon:

1. Applications must be submitted online by 11:59pm ET on Wednesday February 8th, 2023.

2. Artists can apply as individuals or collectives.

3. Must be working in the field of music or movement.
