About the 3LD/336 ResidenCy Grant
3LD/336 ResidenCy Grant recipients benefit from a 14 day, 24-hour full access pass to use 3LD's Studio A for their research and development purposes culminating in up to three public showings. This opportunity is uniquely suited to artists currently working on a new, original piece of theater, dance, media, or hybrid art form that is innovative and is ready to be in front of an audience for the first time. Supporting work that is ambitious, large-scale and experimental in some form, the residency gives artists time, space as well as 3LD's technological expertise to create daring, boundary defying new work in a nurturing environment. Finished work is not the goal; it is the experimentation and sharing of bold new ideas in large-scale multimedia art performance and/or installation.
