BAX Announces 2011-2012 Artists In Residence and Space Grant Recipients
BAX / Brooklyn Arts Exchange is very excited to announce the 2011-2012 Artists In Residence and Space Grant recipients
Six exceptional ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE (AIR) are provided with an artistic home base for a one to two year period, giving them a tangible sense of permanence and place. Resident artists have the use of four spaces suitable for theater, dance and performance work and are offered up to 200 hours of free rehearsal space (per year), a stipend, formal presentations of new works and works in progress, and administrative and technical support. Opportunities are also available to curate, teach both in Our Studios and in the public schools, and to work with BAX's student population.
The SPACE GRANT program is split into two distinct work periods. GROUP ONE rehearses during the Summer months and perform the work they are developing elsewhere. GROUP TWO rehearses during the Fall months and performs their work as part of BAX's 2011/12 Performance Season. Each artist receives 70 hours of rehearsal space during a three month period.

About the Artist In Residence & Space Grant programs
Since 1991, our Artist In Residency and Space Grant programs have served as the core for our work with artists. We believe that no single residency is the same and therefore tailor an individualized plan that incorporates each artists' experiences, goals and questions. Many AIR remain connected to the institution long after their residencies end - curating, teaching, and producing new work.The AIR program provides participating artists with one to two years of uninterrupted artistic, technical, and administrative support, as well as the rehearsal space and guidance necessary to take chances, refine their craft and expand their horizons.Click here for a list of past Space Grant recipients. The Artist In Residence and Space Grant programs are supported, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York State's 62 counties. Additional support has come from public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.About BAXBAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange is a professional community arts center located in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
