It is assumed that innovative research basically takes place in novel collaborative environments like these, so we wish to encourage you all to apply.

a.. The deadline for artists to apply for residencies is January 5, 2004. Soon after this date, 12 Artists will be chosen for The Residency Awards in 2004, each with duration of 3 to 6 months.
