“Over the past several years, we have conducted a deep internal review of how we approach our programs and invite artists–whether they identify as a composer, music creator, or sound artist–to feel like they belong here.” ACF Vice President of Artist Services Billy Lackey shares the changes we’ve made to our application and selection process for our funded opportunities, and what we’ve learned along the way.⁣ ⁣ Applications for 4 of ACF’s funded programs are now open! Visit the ACF website to learn more about applying for ACF create (formerly JFund), the McKnight Composer Fellowships, the McKnight Visiting Composer Residencies, and Minnesota Music Creator Award (formerly MECA)—link in our bio. #NewMusic #ACFprograms #Composer #MusicCreator #Artist #SoundArtist #Music
