Program Description

PlySpace is an artist-in-residence program in Muncie, Indiana, that is dedicated to offering creative individuals time and space to investigate and pursue their own practices. Additionally, it serves as a platform for experimentation and provocation by catalyzing conversation and collaboration with various Muncie communities. PlySpace facilitates opportunities for residents to engage with the public through partnership and programming that is tailored to their area of interest. While exploring their personal creative practice, each resident is also expected to work with a community collaborative partner and complete a community-based project while in residence. This experience is meant to benefit the resident as well as the community of Muncie. The community project proposal is part of the application process, and projects should take up 5-10 hour For detailed information about the community collaboration aspect of the program, please see the website (www.plyspace.org).
