Residency: National Playwright Residency Program Call for Applications

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, in collaboration with HowlRound Theatre Commons at Emerson College, established the National Playwright Residency Program (NPRP) in 2013.  The program provides three years of salary, benefits, and a flexible research and development fund for a diverse group of American playwrights at selected theaters around the country.  More than a standard residency, we conceived this initiative as an intervention into the traditional relationships between artists and institutions, as a way of reimagining what institutions might look like when an artist’s voice is at their cores.  NPRP has four primary goals:

  • Advance the state of playwrights in the American theater by providing them with space, time, and resources, and greater access to the institutions in which they work;

  • Influence the working environment of theaters by embedding playwrights in them;

  • Generate public value through the interaction of playwrights with local artistic and civic communities;

  • Document and disseminate the findings to help benefit the field.

Residencies will be selected through an open application process.  Theaters and playwrights must apply jointly by submitting statements of intent from the playwright and artistic director; a scope of work; and other specified materials to demonstrate eligibility, potential to achieve the goals of the program, and desire to participate in a growing network to advance artist-centered practices in the theater field.

Shacks
For International artists

“There’s no place like home.” So said Dorothy Gale, famously, in The Wizard of Oz. Nothing could be truer.

No matter the address, from mansion to humble dwelling - urban to rural, it’s more about individuality, determination and soul. In The Art of the Shack, we explore and celebrate the concept of home inspired by the work of American artist Beverly Buchanan (1940-2015) who was influenced by the sharecropper shacks she experienced in the Deep South and the do-it-yourself builders and architects around the globe.

Developed by the S.C.R.A.P. Gallery and the Coachella Valley Art Center, the exhibit is calling for small-scale sculptures using recycled and reused materials. Size limited to no larger than 12" x 12"

The Crooked Tree Arts Center (CTAC) is seeking donations of original works of art for our premier fundraising event, DART for ART.  Held each July for the past two decades, DART for ART is unique in that guests leave with an original work of art created by artists of local, regional, and national acclaim.  Accepted artists will receive two complimentary tickets for DART Preview Night and their work will be published in the event catalog.  The proceeds from DART for ART help support CTAC’s year-round programs, including exhibitions, classes, school tours, scholarships for youth, and so much more.  

The success of this event largely depends on the generosity of our artists. This is the one time that we ask artists to donate their work.  Otherwise, we work diligently to promote and create opportunities for our artists.  DART for ART is a two-night event with 500 guests each evening, comprised of both resort and local community art patrons.  We hope you will join us in our mission and donate a piece of your art in support of Crooked Tree Arts Center!

How DART works!

DART for ART is not a sale or an auction, it is an art “event.”  The patrons that attend the event on Thursday night purchase a “ticket” (which start at $500 and go up to $22,000) that has the name of a famous artist on it.  Each person that has a ticket will have the opportunity to dart (run) for a piece of artwork.  The evening progresses as follows:  there will be wine and appetizers, mingling, and previewing all of the amazing artwork that is available; there will be live auctions; everyone will then enjoy a seated dinner; after dinner, we pull out a bingo ball cage which has about 15-20 bingo balls with names of famous artists on them; we then turn the ball cage and see which ball falls out first; this is where the fun begins – the auctioneer calls out the name of the artist and everyone who has the name of that artist on their “ticket” RUNS to pick their artwork; when the first round of people (about 15-20 people each round!) are done picking out their artwork, the auctioneer rolls the cage and picks out another name of a famous artist…... This goes on until all patrons have “DARTED” for a piece of original artwork.

Learn more about the DART for ART event.

Benefits to donating artists:

Donating artists are invited, along with a guest, to attend the Preview Night on Wednesday, July 17, 2019.  Guests will sample wines from a variety of California, Oregon, and Michigan vintners, enjoy hors d’oeuvres from area chefs, and meet the artists while previewing all of the art for DART for ART.  Preview Night goes from 6:00 – 8:30 PM. You and your guest may arrive whenever it is convenient for you.

DART donating artists also receive Two tickets to a Swirl of their choice for the 2019-20 season.

Minimum artwork value:

We ask that your original artwork have a minimum value of $300, and be exhibition ready.  CTAC and the DART for ARTcommittee politely reserve the right to decline a donation of art.  CTAC has a gift acceptance policy which offers both the donor and the organization a streamlined manner in which to accept and process non-monetary gifts.

All donating artists will be included in the DART Artists Catalog.  The catalog began as an effort to further market our donating artists.  We have received numerous stories by artists being contacted at a later date through the catalog, resulting in art sales.  The full-color catalog includes your name, contact information (phone number, email, and website), and a list of galleries (up to three) where your work is exhibited.  1,500 catalogs are printed and distributed annually.  The catalog is given to each DART for ART guest and Preview Night attendee, and is also posted on CTAC's website and available in our galleries.  (Click here to view the 2018 catalog

For International artists

AIRIE presents a one-month, multi-disciplinary artist residency in partnership with Everglades National Park. Artists are invited to live and work for one month inside Everglades National Park, working with AIRIE and the Park to enhance their understanding of this unique and fragile ecosystem.

Each artists/artist group is provided a mini-grant of $1000, a furnished, air-conditioned apartment, 24/7 access to the Everglades National Park and introductions to park rangers, scientists, biologists, cultural and community leaders.

A National Park residency isn’t for everybody. It is for serious professionals who wish to work alone and unfettered in the challenge and beauty of the American wilderness. It is for those who deeply care about the environment and wish to contribute to it as well as benefit from it. The park can accommodate one resident per month, and residents are expected to stay the entire month.

AIRIE welcomes visual artists, scholars, composers, choreographers and writers to seek both solitude and solidarity in the inspiring environment of Everglades National Park.

Visual arts include painting, sculpture, photography, installation and video. Writers include poets and authors of fiction, creative non-fiction and creative journalism. Composers, musicians, dancers and performance artists are welcome to apply. Work submitted should be of professional quality. No student work will be eligible.

Residency experiences are tailored to the interests of each individual artist, creating opportunities for independence and solitude, as well as interaction, collaboration and public engagement as each artist desires.
