Civis Hope Commissions
“Hope may seem daring in this age of angst and uncertainty, but it is at the heart of three major new works coming to the Fisher Center at Bard.” —The New York Times
The Fisher Center at Bard, in partnership with the Civis Foundation, establishes “The Civis Hope Commissions,” an endowed fund that will support, in perpetuity, the commissioning, development, and production of new performing arts works exploring the subject of hope—and announces first three commissions.
