Artist In Residency

We are seeking to support creatives who look at the world as nobody else would: Performers, dancers, circus artists, writers, poets, vocalists, mimes, artists and adventurers of all kinds. If you adore subverting the status quo, deconstructing the accepted common perceptions and refining them to rebuild all over again, you are exactly who we wish to support.

Our Artist in Residency program is designed to provide emerging and established artists with rehearsal/creative space for up to 12 months to create premiere performance works or exhibits which can culminate in a work - in- progress or fully finished performance presentation.

Our gallery is a clean 1600sq ft open lofted space with 23.5ft ceilings which conveniently transforms into performance space for virtually any style of artistic presentation. AIR’s work in an environment which is catered to their creative and professional needs which encourages quality results.

HMC seeks to not only support the growth of seminal works, but to give artists the awareness and the knowledge in such areas of audience relations, budgeting, proposal and grant preparation, promotional presentation, the basics of entertainment law,professional management and administrative support which they will need in order to best sustain their careers in the arts.

There are limited residencies available for the 2012/13 season. Applications are due by March 31st, 2012 via email or snail mail (usps). There is no application fee.
