Summer Labs

National Sawdust fights constantly to be on the cutting edge of artistic innovation. So we created Summer Labs: our way of giving to both our patrons and the artistic community. These 10 artists were chosen by NS artistic advisory board members Theo Bleckmann, Helga Davis, Jeffrey Zeigler with NS Creative Director Paola Prestini and NS Executive Director Courtenay Casey—both solo acts and groups—from a pool of over 100 applicants to create, workshop, and showcase a masterpiece they couldn’t make happen anywhere else. National Sawdust supplies our stage as workshop space in addition to financial and marketing support, all culminating in a final performance.
