2008 MASTER ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM

AUGUST 4 - 24 , 2008      (Application Deadline: April 4, 2008)  
RESIDENCY #130

Since 1982, Atlantic Center's residency program has provided artists  
from all artistic disciplines with spaces to live, work, and  
collaborate during three-week residencies. Located just four miles  
from the east coast beaches of central Florida, the pine and palmetto  
wooded environment contains award-winning studios that include a  
resource library, painting studio, sculpture studio, music studio,  
dance studio, black box theater, writers' studio, and digital  
computer lab. Each residency session includes three master artists of  
different disciplines. The master artists each personally select a  
group of associates - talented, emerging artists - through an  
application process administered by ACA. During the residency,  
artists participate in informal sessions with their group,  
collaborate on projects, and work independently on their own  
projects. The relaxed atmosphere and unstructured program provide  
considerable time for artistic regeneration and creation. Atlantic  
Center for the Arts provides housing (private room/bath with work  
desk), weekday meals (provided by ACA chef) and 24 hour access to  
shared studio space. Financial Aid is available to qualified applicants.

sculptors accepted into the 2008 Master Artists-in-Residence programs  
who demonstrate need will be recommended to receive full financial  
aid to attend the residency program. Artists from other disciplines

"The ACA residency program is unique... great care is taken to create  
the right social and living conditions in a friendly environment  
where a small community of creators can come together for three weeks  
to interact on a high level. It is an invigorating, inspiring, and  
life-changing experience."
Denis Smalley, composer (Master Artist, 2007)

"Being in residence at ACA has been a wonderful experience both  
professionally and personally. Becoming acquainted with peers from  
various parts of the world and with distinct perspectives has  
generated a lot of dialogue and fresh ways of thinking about both my  
work and art as a larger practice. The time and space to allow new  
ideas to incubate in a setting that supports research and  
experimentation has nurtured me at a transitional point. The  
environment has enabled me to take risks, to be extremely productive,  
and to better understand both my work and goals."
Michelle Kong, visual artist (Associate Artist, 2007)
