Announcing new Micro-Residency Program
Submission Deadline: November 15, 2022
Indexical is accepting proposals for a new residency program for new performance-based projects from artists based in Santa Cruz County. This program seeks to provide a platform for artists to advance their artistic careers by developing a new project or idea, and by substantially increasing the visibility of their work. This program intends to support emerging artists exploring new directions in their work, expansions of existing ideas, or collaborative projects that would benefit from extended dedicated time working in the space.
In alignment with our mission, Indexical especially seeks proposals from artists from groups or demographics that have been historically, culturally, and institutionally underrepresented in the field of experimental music and performance-based art.
