Harvestworks Announces 2009 Van Lier Residency Deadlines
Deadline: Wednesday, October 1, 2008 (Applications must be postmarked or delivered in person by 6pm on Oct. 1, 2008. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.) Eligibility: Applicants should be young artists (generally - but not necessarily - under 30 years old), working in digital media, whose work would benefit from significant time in Harvestworks' studios and from expert engineering assistance. Applicants must reside in New York City. Applicants must be able to demonstrate financial need for this internship. In the final round, income tax returns or similar documents will be required as proof of financial need. Harvestworks Digital Media Center offers a one-year Van Lier fellowship for young, New York-based artists with financial need and from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the electronic arts. The residencies help advance Van Lier fellows’ professional, post-college development and promote diversity, equity and access in the arts. A stipend of $6,000 is also included in exchange for community work. The Van Lier fellowship is funded through a special grant from the New York Community Trust. The one-year Van Lier fellowships cover travel and living expenses and include access to training, studio space and production facilities at Harvestworks. Van Lier fellows can take advantage of Harvestworks’ broad-based education program to acquire new skills and work with our staff of engineers, artists and multimedia designers in creating new compositions. Once completed, the compositions, or digital media works, will be performed as part of Harvestworks’ Listen In concert series and included in our on-line catalogue, and may be included in one of our festival programs. Fellows also receive important career development support through our mentoring and peer-contact programs. 2008 Van Lier recipients: Laura Vitale and Jeff Thompson 2007 Van Lier recipients: Hisao Ihara and Tobaron Waxman OVERVIEW OF HARVESTWORKS STUDIO FACILITY Audio: Top of the line Protools HD3 audio system, 5.1 surround sound recording, mixing and monitoring.
