MICRO-RESIDENCY
New Media Gallery Micro Residency will not be returning for the remainder of the 2023 season. This program offers a five-day learning Residency that gives access to available equipment, knowledge and space for artists at every stage of their career to experiment with or question how to include specific new media in their practice. The Residency offers access to experienced NMG staff, the Art + Technology LAB and all its available equipment.
All applications will be seriously considered. We will consider proposals from applicants without a formal CV. We will consider proposals from those without technological experience. For this Residency we hope to support those in the community that face entrenched marginalization due to attitudinal, historic, social and environmental barriers including age, ethnicity, disability, economic status, gender, nationality, race, sexual orientation or transgender status. Artists may bring their own tech to the residency. Technology mentorship and program management is supported by NMG Creative Tech Instructors. Opportunities for presentation, feedback and discussion with NMG Director/Curators will be provided.
