HERE supports the work of artists at all stages in their careers through fully-produced works, commissions and subsidized performance and rehearsal space. In addition, HERE's staff provides marketing, technical and administrative support. All work at HERE is curated based on the strength and uniqueness of the artist's vision.

Through the HERE Artist Residency Program, HERE commissions and develops new hybrid and puppet works over a 1- to 3-year period. As part of the HERE community of artists and audiences, our residents show works-in-progress, develop workshop productions, and mount full–scale productions. Through our residency programs, HERE seeks to not only grow innovative artistic work, but also give artists the awareness and skills—in areas such as audience relations, budgeting, grantwriting, and touring—they need to continue to grow their careers.
