🎉 Congratulations to AVPA guest artist Allison Orr, the Founder and Artistic Director of Forklift Danceworks, on receiving one of the six prestigious Doris Duke Artist Awards for 2026! We are so proud of you, Allison! 🌟

Each award recipient received $525,000 plus up to $25,000 for retirement savings. They also gained access to professional development, financial planning, and a supportive network to help them continue their creative journeys.

Forklift Danceworks is currently engaged in a multi-year residency and commission, collaborating with students from Texas A&M University's College of Performance, Visualization, and Fine Arts and with the Transportation Services team. This partnership will highlight transportation issues within our campus community, culminating in a spectacular performance in April 2027.

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project!
