"Call for Artists: 2009 MASTER ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM"
2009-02-09 until 2009-02-13
Atlantic Center for the Arts
New Smyrna Beach, FL, USA United States of America

2009 MASTER ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM at the Atlantic Center for the Arts will take place MAY 18 - JUNE 7, 2009 (Application Deadline: February 13, 2009). RESIDENCY #133 features master artists WILL COTTON, visual arts; BRENDA HILLMAN, poetry; ALVIN LUCIER, music/composition. 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 studio, sculpture studio, music studio, dance studio, black box theater, writers' studio, 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 mid career 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 on their own projects. 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.
