Seattle’s Fox Whitney seeks fellowship to amplify his work
This article originally appeared in the May/June 2025 issue of Seattle magazine.
A Seattle artist is among 50 finalists in a prestigious national Dance/USA Fellowships to Artists program.
Fox Whitney, a multidisciplinary artist working in dance, music, film, video, theater, writing, and visual art, is seeking to be among 25 artists who receive an award of $31,000 to use at their discretion. Sixty-one artists have received the Fellowship since the program was created in 2018.
Whitney, an artist-in-residence at Seattle’s On the Boards — an organization that invests in contemporary performing artists — focuses his projects around his queer and transgender point of view. He founded the QT interdisciplinary performance project Gender Tender in 2012. His work has been commissioned and produced by the likes of Henry Art Gallery, On the Boards, Velocity Dance Center and the Seattle International Dance Festival, among others.
Winners will be announced in October.

Back in March of 2012, I snagged a last-minute ticket to see Of Montreal at the Showbox. As amazing as Kevin Barnes and company were, along with tourmates Deerhoof, the biggest impression made on me was the opener, Kishi Bashi. Armed with little more than a violin, a loop pedal, and a pristine voice, Kishi…
