"Call for Artists: 2006 Artists-in-Residence Program"
2005-12-16 until 2006-01-27
Atlantic Center for the Arts
New Smyrna Beach, FL, USA United States of America

Since 1982, Atlantic Center's residency program has provided artists from all artistic disciplines with spaces to live, work, and collaborate during three-week residencies. Located just four miles from the east coast beaches of central Florida, the pine and palmetto wooded environment contains award-winning studios that include a resource library, painting studio, sculpture studio, music studio, dance studio, black box theater, writer's studio, and digital computer lab.

Each residency session includes three master artists of different disciplines. The master artists each personally select a group of associates - talented, emerging artists - through an application process administered by ACA. During the residency, artists participate in informal sessions with their group, collaborate on projects, and work independently. The relaxed atmosphere and unstructured program provide considerable time for artistic regeneration and creation. Atlantic Center for the Arts provides h! ousing (private room/bath with work desk), weekday meals (provided by ACA chef) and 24 hour access to shared studio space.

"AA is a wonderful environment. It stirs the stagnant brain and revitalizes one's aims. Participants return to the world with fresh energy and new ideas." William Gass, writer (Master Artist, February 2005)

"ACA provides an exciting, unique, and invaluable atmosphere for discussion and reflection among talented artists across many disciplines - blurring their boundaries and reminding us all what our expressive impulses have in common." Jenny Johnson, composer (Associate Artist, May 2005)
