From our collagues at The Field:

Field Artist Residency: Summer Applications Due Monday, June 7th

The Field Artist Residency supports the creative endeavors of artists as they work toward an upcoming production.

This summer, nine artists will be selected to develop their work with the support of a regular rehearsal schedule. Participants receive three months of rehearsal space and an individual consultation at The Field. Artists can use the residency to begin a new piece, rehearse an existing work, or engage in related creative processes that will move them toward a solid performance run. A consultation is offered for feedback on written materials, or to discuss project planning, goals, working challenges, fundraising or marketing plans, or other topics.

 

Let's summarize.  For $325 participants receive:

* More than 65 hours of rehearsal space (that's $5 per hour!)

* One individual consultation

Nine artists will be selected to develop their work with the support of a regular rehearsal schedule, June 28 to September 19.

 

The program is currently only open to dance artists. Eligible applicants have a full or half-evening performance date confirmed with a theater (or other venue open to the public) between September 5, 2010 and September 19, 2011. Both self-produced and presented productions are welcome. You do not have to be a Field Member to apply.

 

Applications Due Monday, June 7th @ 5 PM (in office).

Space on White, a new facility in Tribeca, is seeking an innovative, artistic NYC organization to be its resident company.  And they hope to find one through a video contest that they are calling "The Blank Canvas Giveaway"!

 

If you are an artistic, theatre, dance, music or production company looking for a rehearsal and performance "home", develop a short performance skit on video (1-4 minutes), showcasing your organization’s talents and mission while answering Space on White's prompt question: “What could you do with Space on White as your blank canvas?”  More contest details are available here.

 

There will be two winners chosen: 

 

FIRST PLACE (by judges' vote): 80 hours of free space at Space on White, as well as a residency, which includes publicity through Space on White, storage space, and more.

 

SECOND PLACE (determined by highest number of views on the Space on White YouTube channel): 50 hours of free space at Space on White.
