Deadline: 30-Nov-21
The City of Albuquerque (CABQ) Urban Enhancement Trust Fund (UETF) in partnership with five local non-profit arts organizations, The Dellsly Group, Keshet Dance and Center for the Arts, FUSION, National Institute of Flamenco, and Puha Hubiya, are pleased to present this 18-month residency opportunity to advance their artistic or cultural work through a meaningful, perhaps collaborative, commitment to their creative expression.
The goal of this funding is to help local artists with resources needed for the continuation of their artistic or cultural work. Proposed Resiliency Residency projects DO NOT have to be fully realized by the end of the funding term. Therefore, residency projects, performances, presentations, showcases, or exhibits may include works in progress, rehearsals, feedback sessions, or progress reports.
The results of the residency term should be available to the public in some format for a reasonable duration of time–either virtually, online, through a performance at a facility, or other local event/exhibit location. This residency program will include additional professional development opportunities to the entire group of 75 artists, beyond working with the five support/fiscal sponsor organizations.
The additional skills, training and development workshops are yet to be defined, based on a survey of interests from the selected artists, but they will be optional and participation is not required in order to be eligible to apply.
Funding Information
- The intent of the UETF Resiliency Residency Program is to provide 75 individual, independent Albuquerque-based artists $2,500 each.
Deliverables
- All project awardees must provide some form of presentation, display, performance or documentation of their residency work by June 15, 2023.
- Due to UETF legal requirements, funds must flow through a local Albuquerque nonprofit arts or cultural organization.
- The five organizations listed have been selected as the resiliency residency sponsors based on an open competition and their commitment to collaborating and supporting independent artists. Each of these organizations will also be providing a follow up report on their role in this program
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible creative artists and cultural bearers need to be able to show previous commitment to their medium and/or creative expression, and explain to the best of their ability how they feel a $2,500 Albuquerque Resiliency Residency will impact their creative work/project/goals.
- Artists must be 18 years of age and live and do their primary creative work in the greater Albuquerque metropolitan area.
