Wexner Center for the Arts: Student Docent Program Info Session

Student Docent Program Info Session
Want to be a student docent? Learn about the training program and tour the galleries
Thursday, May 14, 2009 | 6:30 PM
Galleries

The Wexner Center exhibits work created by artists from around the globe. We welcome visitors from a range of backgrounds and communities. In order to serve a diverse audience, we need a diverse team.

We are now taking applications for our 2009-2010 class of Student Docents. Contemporary art challenges viewers to face and explore potentially provocative topics. Docents lead meaningful gallery discussions and push visitors to experience art from a range of perspectives. They guide the public in exploring issues of identity, race, sexuality, politics, and more. An academic background in the arts isn’t necessary—but a love for the arts and people is.

Join us and learn more on May 14 at 6:30pm. You’ll hear about the training program, get your questions answered, and tour the galleries with one of our student docents.
Email edweb@wexarts.org or call 614.292.6493 to RSVP.

Call for applications: The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center

The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center Now Accepting Applications for its Scholars and Researches in Residence and its Artists in Residence Programs.

Troy, NY - The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) is dedicated to advancing research and artistic production at the intersection of technology, media and the time based arts (media arts, video, music, dance, theater. etc.).

To that end, EMPAC is please to announce that it is accepting applications for both its Scholars and Researchers in Residence and its Artists in Residence programs. There are no deadlines for applications, which will be accepted and reviewed throughout the year.

The Artists in Residence program is available to individuals, groups, ensembles or collectives to develop new approaches and new works in the time-based arts.

The intent of the program is to support work that cannot be created or realized elsewhere.  As EMPAC is part of a technological research university and carries the word "experimental" in its name, goals may turn out to be unobtainable or dead ends, be they artistic or technical. Residencies may be used to take risks and experiment with new ideas, which are not necessarily attached to specific performances or a finished work. 

Along with a state-of-the art facility, EMPAC offers residents the logistical support of experts in audio video and stage technologies, as well as critical discourse with an interdisciplinary curatorial team.

Residencies may be for the entire duration of a project or for any phase of development. There is no present limit on the length of time or frequency of residencies during the course of a project. Prospective artists may apply for limited travel and accommodation support, but also are encouraged to come with their own means of support.

The Scholars and Researchers in Residence Program is available to visiting scholars and researchers whose research is directed at the intersection of physical, human-scale environments and the technological domain.

For full program details, guidelines and application information, please visit: http://empac.rpi.edu/residencies/
