Individual artists who are interested in creating projects and initiatives that directly impact the communities where they live can apply to be part of the first ever Artist Corps for Greater New Haven. The Artist Corps in not just about receiving funding, it's about building non-cash resources (such as connecting people across networks, identifying pipeline opportunities, and meeting more residents through the arts) in order to create a solid foundation for artists to be operationally sound and successful in seeing their art at the forefront of the community. Therefore, selected artists will gather + work together as a cohort with support from our facilitators: IfeMichelle Gardin, Frank Brady, and Annie Lin. The cohort will meet 3 times with many opportunities throughout the year to engage in small group workshops and collaborations to be in community with each other. 12 artists will be selected for this pilot year of the Artist Corps and will be awarded a stipend of $10,000. Deadline 11:59pm July 15
