Opportunity


I’m writing to inform you that the Indianapolis Museum of Art is currently issuing a call for proposals for a summer 2012 six-week residency on Andrea Zittel’s Indianapolis Island within the IMA’s 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park. Graduate and undergraduate students and emerging professionals in the fields of art, design, architecture and performing arts are encouraged to apply to customize and reside on Indianapolis Island.

Anchored in the 35-acre lake within 100 Acres, Indianapolis Island is a habitable “off-the-grid” structure accessible by rowboat. At about 20 feet in diameter, the island serves as an experimental living structure that examines the daily needs of contemporary human beings. Residents collaborate with Zittel by adapting and modifying the island’s structure according to their individual needs. The project blends elements of environmental art, sculpture, design and performance in a unique way, offering a challenging and experimental forum for exploring ideas about individualism and self-sufficiency.

We ask that you please share this unique opportunity with your students and colleagues. I have attached a flyer for distribution around your institution and a press release with further information. You can also direct those interested in applying to our residency website (www.imamuseum.org/islandresidency), where renderings and images of Indianapolis Island as well as information about the application process are posted.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.


Many thanks.


All best,

Amanda

EVENTS FILTER



Hey Philly Artist friends! This site is being constructed by my friend Jeremy Klotz. It is a great opportunity to generate "FREE" press and a lasting log of your artistic endeavors. Please check it out, create a profile and become part of comprehensive artist's listing!
Best,
Terri Saulin

EventsFilter.com is an arts calendar platform: a repository of artist, gallery and event information that allows people to, at no cost, post information and siphon off dynamically generated content to make new websites or to add content to existing ones.

Every artist should take 5 minutes and make a profile on EventsFilter. Our 'child' site PHLocal.com will be launched this fall and will include a listing of artists by neighborhood / town. Profiles will be linked to the events artists participate in, serve as a record of past events and contain links to artists websites.

EventsFilter maintains the largest listing of art events and visual artists in the Philadelphia region. Our mission is to increase the exposure of art information so that more people will attend art events and support local artists.
