Description

Ryan Heffington’s DESERTRADE invites applications from individuals and small teams (up to three artists) seeking the time, space, and stillness to create choreographic-driven work in the Mojave Desert. The 2027 residency welcomes choreographers and dance-makers who explore movement as an artistic practice, offering an environment to develop new ideas, deepen their process, and bring emerging works to life. Residency cost is $750/week for a minimum of one week and up to four weeks—funds that sustain our staff, and support the building of our infrastructure in our developing stages or our residency program. We encourage artists to secure grants or self-fund their stay. The residency currently offers a new 2,200 sq ft, one-bedroom house with a full kitchen, laundry, two sunlit workspaces, and two freestanding workshops. The property spans 12 private acres of quiet desert expanse.

Description

The Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Regional Directorate for Cultural Affairs seeks to increase the number of its regional artist residencies that combine artistic creation with outreach initiatives. The “Récits de Paysages” call for projects is a program of artist residencies featuring a hybrid format that combines creation and outreach in the selected region. Five regional nature parks, two national parks, and eight local authorities are applying to host an artist or an artistic team.

Artists may respond to this call for proposals by submitting a specific project proposal for one of the host regions. The selected artist will undertake one or more residency periods in the host region. These periods will take place between December 2026 and December 2027, with a final presentation no later than December 2027.
