The 2020 Selected Participants
On March 11, 2020 we announced the 12 incredible artists who were slated to join us in New Harmony, IN for what would have been The New Harmony Project's 34th annual spring conference. We were heartbroken when we realized that due to Covid-19 it would not be possible to gather for the traditional NHP experience. While we have pivoted to some virtual programming and are aware of the continuing volatility of our environment, we have invited the writers selected for last year's conference to join us in May of 2021, with high hopes that it will be safe for us to gather in person along the banks of the Wabash. Unfortunately, that means we will not be accepting applications for the 2021 conference. While this news is difficult to share, we remain committed to supporting the writers and artists who were selected out of the nearly 600 applications in the fall of 2019.
It is our ongoing goal to continue building impactful programming beyond the conference. We want to serve and support more writers and artists, and are working tirelessly to make that a reality. We hope that you will continue to keep us in mind as you search for development opportunities, and look forward to receiving applications again in August of 2021.
