2012 Emerging Artist Fellowship

Hemispheric New York Emerging Artist Fellowship

Applications Due November 16, 2011.

The Hemispheric New York Emerging Artist Fellowship program is now accepting applications from emerging artists in New York City who are at the early stages of their careers but have some track record of creating performance-based work. The one-year fellowship is designed for artists who are committed to art as a vehicle for social change, whose work—even if interdisciplinary—is strongly rooted in performance, and who would value the opportunity to be a part of an Americas-wide network of artists, activists and scholars who focus on the intersection of performance and politics. The residency period runs from January to December 2012.

The fellowship provides the emerging artist with:

• ● A $1000 stipend.
  ● Shared office space at the Hemispheric New York (HNY) center in the East Village during the residency period.
  ● New York University ID card with access to university libraries and research facilities.
  ● Travel to the Hemispheric Institute's 2012 Encuentro in Mexico City (March 17-25, 2012).
• ● Mentorship through the program, including one-on-one work with Hemispheric New York Artists in Residence and connections with HNYPN partner institutions: HERE, Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance (BAAD!), Dixon Place, Brooklyn Arts Exchange (BAX) and La MaMa.
  ● Access to workshops and events related to the EMERGENYC program, a ten-week training program for emerging artivists that takes place yearly.
  ● Participation in HNYPN Curated Conversation series.
