New York State / Quebec Artist-in-Residence Exchange Program

L.M. — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:04:09 +0000

New York State / Quebec Artist-in-Residence Exchange Program
NYSCA (administered by Arts Services Initiative of WNY)
Deadline: May 31, 2013 (host organizations)
Website: http://www.asiwny.org/programs/artist-residence-exchange/

Later this year three artists from New York State will go to Quebec for a three-month residency and three Quebec artists will come to New York State for their residency.

The disciplines included in the residency are:

Architecture
Crafts & Folk Arts
Cinema & Video
Dance & Choreography
Digital Arts
Literature & Poetry
Multidisciplinary Arts
Music & Composition
Theatre & Playwriting
Visual Art

Artists in residence will work with a partner venue to develop their project, engage with the local community, and foster exchange with local artists. They will receive a stipend of $9,000 to cover their costs for travel, materials, and labor.

Would your venue like to host a Quebec artist in late 2013?

In May, Arts Services Initiative of WNY (ASI) will develop a listing of potential venues from across New York State that are interested in hosting an artist(s) from Quebec. There is no commitment right away. The venue can decide if a partnership with the interested artist is viable. The applicant artists are required to make contact with a venue to determine the viability for a partnership and obtain a letter of support. This will become part of the artist’s application.

All interested venues will be included on a list of potential partners given to the Quebec applicant artists.

To be included in our initial outreach to prospective artists, please fill out an application form by May 31, 2013, or complete the form before July 5 for inclusion on our website as a potential venue. Questions? Please email asiwnyoffice@gmail.com.
