PS alum Dakota Camacho (MA '15) has been named a 2025 Artist Fellow by Dance/USA, the national service organization for dance. Camacho is among 25 artists honored through the Dance/USA Fellowships to Artists (DFA) program, which recognizes dance and movement-based artists whose sustained practices advance art for social change.
Each fellowship includes a $31,000 grant to support the artists’ creative work. “The artists recognized through these fellowships remind us that change often begins in creative practice,” said Ashley Ferro-Murray, program director for the arts at the Doris Duke Foundation. “Through their movement work, these artists reimagine how we connect, care, and build community.”
In addition to monetary support, the Artist Fellows will also have the option to take part in a flexible set of gatherings that provide paid time for collaboration, rest, and reflection with one another.
