Question 1

What is a works in progress showing? How is it different from other shows?

Accepted Answer

Denver Scratch is primarily a tool in the creative process for the artists who present their work. The evening includes a facilitated conversation between each artist, and the audience, for the artist to solicit and receive feedback about how their works lands.

Question 2

How is the feedback conversation held? Do I have to speak publicly?

Accepted Answer

We offer multiple ways to share your thoughts, impressions, and experience with the artists. You can fill out a paper or online feedback form, and/or engage in the facilitated talk back portions of the evening.

Question 3

Where does my ticket donation money go?

Accepted Answer

Scratch is by donation, no one turned away for lack of funds. Proceeds from ticket donations first go toward space rental, and  the remainder is split equally to provide honoraria for the participants (artists, facilitator, tech).

Question 4

What are your COVID precautions?

Accepted Answer

In order to make Scratch safer and accessible for our artists and community members, we require masks at all times while indoors at Scratch. This level of caution allows artists (even ones who are especially vulnerable) to have the option to perform without a mask. Masks are provided at the door.
