Genesis Project residency welcomes applications

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Genesis Project, New York
Artist Residency Program

Genesis Project is a unique, month-long, artists' residency program catering to body-based artists who identify as working between disciplines and/or seek to integrate other disciplines into their performance practice through individual experimentation and open-source collaboration. We seek to diversify the range of skills present in the residency; therefore, the committee will also consider artists working in non-performance disciplines and professionals from art-related fields who want to incorporate performance into their practice. To enhance the residency experience and to promote ideological exchange and discourse, local artists from various fields will conduct workshops with the program participants and take part in a lecture series throughout the month.

Genesis Project is a program of Culture Push, a New York-based non-profit arts organization that focuses on collaboration and group learning through active, participatory experiences. The residency will be hosted by 319 Scholes; a studio and exhibition space in Bushwick, Brooklyn that supports the minds and needs of contemporary artists of various disciplines. Genesis Project is directed by Culture Push co-director, Arturo Vidich.
