Harvestworks Announces 2009 New works Residency Deadlines

 

Deadline:   Wednesday, November 5, 2008 for projects beginning January 1, 2009 – December 31, 2009.   (Applications must be postmarked or delivered in person by 6pm on Nov. 5, 2008.  Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.)

Overview: the Harvestworks Artist In Residence program offers 20-40 hours of technical assistance plus access to our technology lab to make a new work in our state of the art digital media facility, plus a $1000 fee upon completion of the work. The artist works with a team comprised of a project manager, engineer and programmer (if required).

New works may include the creation of a new video work with a surround sound audio mix, audio recording and mastering of a surround sound piece, the creation of a new web art work and the development of a live interactive music/video/installation system using Max/MSP/Jitter or similar programming languages.  Up to 12 residencies will be selected (depending on project size and funding) along with two alternates in the event any resident artist cannot participate.  Priority will be given to the creative use of the Harvestworks' production facility and the innovative use of sound and/or picture.  Emerging artists and artists of color are encouraged to apply.

Eligibility:  The Artist in Residency (AIR) program is designed to assist individual working artists and their collaborators.  Groups and ensembles are not eligible.  Only new work proposals are accepted.  Proposals that document an existing work are not eligible.  Students who are currently enrolled in a university are not eligible.  AIR recipients from the past 2 years are not eligible to apply this year.  Applicants must reside in the U.S.

Project Presentation:  Work produced in the program is premiered in the Harvestworks’ 5.1 Presentation Lab, or may be included in one of our festival programs.   Residents are also included in the Artists Guide, an Internet compilation of digital artwork on the Harvestworks website.
