The deadline for the 2013 Taller Portobelo Norte Summer Art Colony Project Proposals and Fellowship Applications is Wednesday, May 1st!

The http://www.tallerportobelonorte.com/artcolony.html, taking place June 30th to July 21st in Portobelo, Panama, is a three week summer residency program for student, emerging and professional artists and scholars that attracts a diverse and talented set of individuals to work independently or in collaboration on the continuation of their current projects or the realization of new small works.

Although we ask for a project proposal, we encourage participants to think of this as a loose plan and come ready to create work without a predetermined agenda or schedule. A big part of the value of this artistic experience is a high level of interaction with peers and the local community. From the waters of the Caribbean Sea and the impromptu soccer games in the plaza, to the songs and drumbeats that animate a local performance tradition called "Congo," Portobelo provides rich, multi-sensory inspiration. We aim to provide a space for visionary artists/scholars whose work stimulates and expands artistic/scholarly boundaries and conventions to create work that challenges themselves and gives voice to their ideas.

Two week residencies are also available.  Funding is limited and award amounts vary.
