Artists Make Technology Lab
Related Ideas
Artists Make Technology Lab (AMT Lab) invites proposals for bold ideas in the performing arts that engage digital tools, innovative data practices and emerging production methods. The AMT Lab is a core pillar of a new multi-foundation initiative led by Mozilla Foundation and the Doris Duke Foundation in partnership with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Ford Foundation.
The AMT Lab is both a grant program and a support system that aims to expand access to and nurture new ways of creating, sharing and experiencing the performing arts. Whether you are just beginning to explore digital tools or have long worked with emerging stage and production technologies, we welcome your artistic and technical proposals.
Support includes financial resources for a six-month period of rapid prototyping, along with imaginative convenings, cohort-building activities and advising.
The AMT Lab builds on the Doris Duke Foundation’s 2024–2025 pilot Performing Arts Technologies Lab (PATL), which supported 20 individuals and organizations pursuing ambitious ideas at the intersection of performing arts and technology. Grantees advanced foundational work in accessibility, artistic production and pre-visualization technologies, digital archiving and technologically integrated performance.
