Program Description

Rising: Climate in Crisis Residencies invite artists to be agents of change in guiding our collective understanding, response, and vision as we shape our shared future. We encourage artists to guide our collective response to this challenging issue while bringing wisdom, integrity, optimism, and even humor to intentional projects seeking transformation for our species and our planet. Southeast Louisiana’s land and inhabitants are continually challenged by the effects of environmental degradation. The 6-week residency takes place between September 2023 - May 2024 and includes a $3000 stipend and a $2000 supply budget. The call is open to artists of all disciplines who have demonstrated an established dialogue with environmental and cultural issues.
