SCIENCE GALLERY DETROIT | RAPID RESIDENCY GRANTS | CALL OPENS: JUNE 22-JULY 22
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought change and disruption for many, including cultural producers and creators. We have seen opportunities dwindle worldwide as gigs are lost, play and exhibitions close, and myriad other events move online or are canceled. To spark innovation and creativity during these challenging times, Science Gallery Detroit is pleased to launch a new, virtual residency program for creatives residing in Detroit. This initiative seeks to foster conceptual ideas that address and appeal to young adults and that serve as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
HOW TO APPLY Makers, creators, writers, artists, musicians, photographers, videographers, and designers residing in Detroit are invited to provide a brief overview of the concept or idea you wish to explore, explaining why this residency would be valuable to you, and what impact you hope it could have. Age criteria: 15+
Proposals must be 200 words or less. Please include your CV along with your proposal and email all the materials to: mark.sullivan@detroit.sciencegallery.com. Please use "SGD Rapid Residency Application" for the subject line. Applications must be received by midnight on July 22, 2020. We hope to follow this round of grants with others in the near future.
