CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: 2014 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM

Because we believe a range of backgrounds enhances the communal experience, residencies are open to national and international artists of any discipline, as well as creative thinkers in engineering, design and the sciences who have emerged and established themselves beyond university training. The application deadline is June 15, 2013.
