#creative residency

Well, here’s my pitch for the Adobe Creative Residency 2019. Unfortunately, it didn’t get picked, but I poured everything I could into this proposal, so I don’t feel let down. It did, however, inspire me to make more proposals for dream projects and to just go for it (so, there’s more incoming)!

*****

We are inviting artists from all disciplines to apply for a spot in our 2018 Norway residency program. Join a small team of exceptional creatives and academics on a journey of discovery, collaboration and inspiration, surrounded by one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. Known for crystal clear fjords surrounded by lush, conifer-covered mountains, Norway is a place like no other. It promotes an incredible clarity of mind and feels like a walking meditation through a humbling, sensory landscape. We welcome artists from all over the world to apply for this residency and are looking forward to the diverse backgrounds and perspectives we'll share during the program.

Our upcoming  6 day / 5 night residency program will runs during the summer season of 2018. Light Grey Art Lab's Norway residency sets a different tone than our previous Iceland residency, which promotes the sharing of experiences and reflections derived from the accomplishments of each participant, our new Norway Creative Residency Program celebrates what we will be, what we will do, and the challenges we wish to undertake on our creative journeys. During the program, we will be sharing a traditional Norwegian space together, a launchpad for our exploratory journey where we will wander the dramatic landscape together, create work in the field, swim in crystal-clear waters, learn from local experts about the sea-faring history of the land's inhabitants, and travel by water in traditional Norwegian wood-hull boats during the day, and at night participate in creative lectures and workshops led by fellow artists-in-residence over family-style meals in our countryside home.

Thanks and hope you can join us! More details on program, itinerary and costs here!

Saturday, I took some portraits at the holi festival alongside my homies of @pursuitofportraitsblog [@skinnywashere @acupofjoan and @neivy] and wrote about the experience of art directing strangers.
