(M & ALL) Artists Residency Program at I-Park for Music Composers
Connecticut, USA
Deadline: Feb 16th, 2009
I-Park announces its ninth season hosting The Artists’ Enclave. Artists’ residencies, self-directed/project oriented, will be offered from May through November 2009. Most sessions are four weeks in duration. In addition to music composers, the following disciplines participate: visual (including digital and environmental) artists, landscape/garden designers, creative writers and architects. Work samples are evaluated through a competitive, juried process. There is a $25 application fee and artists are responsible for their own transportation to and from the area. They also provide for their own food and work materials. The facility is otherwise offered at no cost to accepted artists. A limited number of travel grants are offered to non-U.S. artists.
The music studio, in addition to an acoustic piano, has a selection of digital keyboards as well as a growing collection of peripheral devices and software for recording, sequencing and sound manipulation. We have also begun to collect unusual percussion and other instruments for use by our composers.

Community Partners Program
Administered through the Forum’s chapters, the Community Partners Program places composers in collaborative residencies with community, cultural and educational organizations to create new works designed around the needs of their specific communities, many of which are historically underserved by the arts. By partnering with cultural, educational and social services organizations, projects reach people who might otherwise have no opportunity or occasion to directly engage the arts, and do so in a context that makes their involvement personally and socially significant. Through these projects, the Forum’s chapters have sponsored more than 200 residencies, commissions and performances, engaged scores of educational, cultural and social institutions in the creation and presentation of new music, and elicited growing support from a wide range of local and regional philanthropies.

Welcome to Mira's List

This blog provides information on upcoming grants, fellowships and residencies for artists, writers, composers, and media artists. It is for serious professionals only, from emerging to mid-career to established. I also publish information for graduate students from time to time. However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money. At least that is my current policy. For more info on where to exhibit or publish, please see my links section which I try to periodically update. I sift through hundreds of search engines and websites to find opportunities for YOU dear artist. In return, I ask you to pass the information along to those who need it. Also, since this is a free blog, I don't always have the time to weed carefully through everything. If you find a grant or website or residency that is not up-to-date, is dodgy in some way, or is no longer in existence, please let me know! Also, if you stay somewhere at one of the residencies I suggest and have a good experience, I want that feedback too. Please check my FAQs at the top right side bar if you have questions before starting your search. Best wishes and happy hunting!
