BEAM ME UP!

It is getting cold in the Smokies, folks…and I LOVE it.  And I love to tell you about exotic getaways that will allow you to learn a new culture or climate.  Remember the residency call for Roswell, NM?  I was all set to bake alien shaped cookies (like these from organic bakery Beautiful Sweets).  Well, this next Call for Residency applications is a great opportunity, and it may even be a new climate for you…but it isn’t likely to be any warmer.

Check out this Call for Submissions to the Summer Residency Blue Sky Project.  This is an eight-week chance to make a difference with your art. 

CALL for SUBMISSIONS:
Summer Residency Blue Sky Project

Blue Sky Project invites professional artists from around the world and Dayton-area teens to create new works of contemporary art.  This eight-week Artist-in-Residence Program hosts artists who have a demonstrated commitment to innovation and exploration and are interested in collaborating with fellow artists and young people as a means of creating new works.

ELIGIBILITY: Visual Artists, Artist/Activists, Filmmakers, writers, dancers, musicians, theatre performers, and people working in other creative media are encourage to apply.

As a Blue Sky Artist-In-Residence, you will cross-pollinate with other practicing artists, collaborate with teens, expand your ideas and add artistic breadth and depth to the Dayton community.

LOCATION:  Relocated for 2009 to Ohio from our original location in Illinois, artists gather for eight weeks from mid-June to mid August at the University of Dayton, located 2 miles from downtown Dayton.

Afro-Galaxy Automythography Collaborative by Resident Artist Mequitta Ahuja in 2007DETAILS:  Monday – Thursday, from 10-3:30 are devoted to intensive collaborations between each individual artist and a small group of six to eight local teen participants, culminating in a final exhibition. Artists-in-Residence invent the remaining structure, working together or individually on projects. Their hope is that the projects will seep out, intervene, enhance and impact the community.

SUBMISSIONS:  Your recent studio practice & new ideas should provide the foundation for your activities. Because of the collaborative nature of Blue Sky, your project must have an open-ended structure. 

BUDGET: Your project must be achievable in eight weeks, within a $1,000 budget (excluding final exhibition expenses) and must engage others in its articulation and production. The rest is up to you.

DEADLINE:  January 17, 2011

Previous projects have included: sculptural sound installation, self-published zine of local interviews, performance, musical composition, dance installation, filmmaking, photographic re-imaginings of local sites and nature interventions.  See Afro-Galaxy Automythography Collaborative by Resident Artist Mequitta Ahuja in 2007 pictured above left.
