Attn: Sculptors/ACA Residency w/ Jonathan Horowitz

[littlenova]

I didn't know if any of you would be interested...but, ACA is an amazing residency that offers artists a chance to work with a renowned master artist in a small group for 3 weeks on the beach in Florida. Before you think, Florida??, look at the list of artists that have been in residence and the master artists they have had there over the last 15 years and you will see how exceptional it is. I got to eat breakfast everyday with Rineke Dijkstra...nuff said. See the RESIDENCY thread to hear my first hand account.

Welp, I just wanted to let you sculptors know that Jonathan Horowitz will be at ACA from June 28-July 18th and they are extending the application deadline to April 9th. (You might even be able to call and get it extended even further.) Also, they have funding! So, HEADS UP! And apply....

Since 1982, Atlantic Center's residency program has provided artists from all artistic disciplines with spaces to live, work, and collaborate during three-week residencies. Located just four miles from the east coast beaches of central Florida, the pine and palmetto wooded environment contains award-winning studios that include a resource library, painting, sculpture, music, dance and writers' studios, a black box theater, and digital computer lab. Each residency session includes three master artists of different disciplines. The master artists each personally select a group of associates - talented, emerging and midcareer artists - through an application process administered by ACA. During the residency, artists participate in informal sessions with their group, collaborate on projects, and work independently. The relaxed atmosphere and unstructured program provide considerable time for artistic regeneration and creation. Atlantic Center for the Arts provides housing (private room/bath with work desk), weekday meals (provided by ACA chef) and 24-hour access to shared studio space. Financial Aid is available to qualified applicants.

For more information on how to apply, please visit www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org, or email program@atlanticcenterforthearts.org or telephone ACA at (386) 427-6975 or (800) 393-6975 (domestic US only).

All composers accepted into Residency #138 will be recommended to receive a Sally Mead Hands Foundation Scholarship (covering full tuition) to attend the residency program. Painters and sculptors accepted into Residency #138 will be recommended to receive a Joan Mitchell Foundation Scholarship (covering up to full tuition, based on financial need) to attend the residency program.
