Monira Performance Residency

Jersey City, NJ, United States

The Monira Foundation’s Performance Residency for 2024 will provide space and time to Performing and Movement-based Artists in the New Jersey/New York area at the Monira Foundation Gallery. Beginning from April 15 to September 15, up to six selected artists or collaborative groups will be granted month-long access to a performance space with a portable sprung wood floor. This opportunity allows artists to utilize the space to support their practices.

The Performance Residency for this year offers a $250 stipend for individuals and $400 for groups (lead applicant). Artists will also have access to a safe and private studio space with windows. The Monira Gallery, measuring 45 ft x 60 ft, features concrete floors and a portable wood floor measuring 12 ft x 30 ft. Marley is available for artists interested in covering the floor. There is a sound system in the space, and selected artists can bring their music devices (with adaptors) to connect to the audio equipment. Artists may also feel free to bring there own.

In addition to providing physical space, residents may receive visits from artists and gain visibility through Monira’s social media and communication channels during their residency.

Additional Eligibility Information

Successful applications are open to individual artists or collaborations working in the performance realm, encompassing disciplines such as dance, film, music, theater, and visual art related to movement. This residency emphasizes the artistic process without the expectation of presenting a final piece of work, although artists may choose to do so if it aligns with their process. Housing and transportation are not included in this opportunity.

This opportunity is best suited for New Jersey/New York-based artists who:

  • Explore their interests and questions with thoughtful processes and articulate a context for their work.
  • Are excited about sharing their work through the Monira Foundation and embrace dialogue with audiences as a meaningful part of their process.
  • Are at least 18 years of age and not currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program.

This residency seeks to serve a diverse and inclusive community, supporting performers of all racial and cultural perspectives and abilities. The selection process involves a panel review with an invited curator, Karole Armitage, Monira staff, and former Resident Artists.

The Bethany Arts Community Emerging Artist Fellowship is designed to offer a creative home to emerging artists, ages 21+, as they transition and deepen their professional careers and artistic practice.

Bethany Arts Community: Annual Poetry Residency

Ossining, NY, United States

Bethany Arts Community (BAC) offers residencies to emerging and established artists for the development of both new works and works-in-progress. BAC welcomes artists working across any discipline and medium, including visual artists, sculptors, writers, playwrights, choreographers, musicians, composers, performance artists, filmmakers, and more to our Fall Multidisciplinary Residency. Any and all artistic mediums are encouraged to apply. 

 

Enjoy an environment where artists from different disciplines and walks of life can work in community and near each other, creating opportunities for generative collaboration and cross-pollination. Residents will be surrounded by uninhibited creativity during their time at BAC, in the form of fellow Multidisciplinary Residents, local studio artists, BAC staff and board members, those presenting programs on campus, and more! 

 

A unique component of residencies at BAC is Community Programming. As part of a residency, we ask each artist to develop and facilitate a Community Program related to their residency plan. This part of the residency is an opportunity for artists to share with the local community in Ossining and Westchester County, and for the local community to engage with artists through their work.

Archie Bray Foundation Long Term Residency

Helena , MT, United States

The Archie Bray Foundation is actively committed to promoting, celebrating, and sustaining the ceramic arts through the residency program, education, gallery, ceramic materials and technology, and community engagement on a local, national, and international scale. In the words of Archie himself, The Bray makes available, “for all who are seriously and sincerely interested in any of the branches of the ceramic arts, a fine place to work”.

Through summer and long-term studio experiences, The Bray Resident Artist Program offers an unprecedented opportunity to work within a community of global artists actively creating new work. At The Bray, artists from around the world with a vast range of experiences and diverse aesthetic approaches, cultures and perspectives come together.

Residents of The Bray have the opportunity to be in a community with other makers to share discoveries, frustrations and triumphs, and work together over an extended period of time. Studio experiences at The Bray are as varied and unique as the individuals involved.

The Resident Program establishes life-long friendships and connections that open new paths, develop careers, and change lives.
