  • Rehearsal Residencies 
    This space grant includes four months of rehearsal space for six hours per week.  Artists can use these residencies to develop a new piece, find new ways to generate material, work on collaborative venures, or anything that would benefit from time and space.
     
    Open Showing Residencies
    This space grant provides artists with space to show their work, whether it be readings, theater pieces, dance, music, poetry, etc...the possibilities are wide open.  Artists get one or two weekends, Friday and Saturday, from 6-10pm.
     
    Participation is by lottery!
    Drawings are held three times a year, approximately one month prior to each residency period. These periods are: January - April, May - August, and September - December. Participation fee for the lottery is $25 for nonmembers; members apply for free! The $25 fee is transferable to any other Field workshop or can be used towards membership.  And for those who have applied more than three times without receiving a residency, we help to increase your odds by doing a special first round drawing for repeat applicants. Please check the appropriate line on the application.
      
    NEW: FAR-Light space grants will be offered in Summer 2008.  These space grants are shorter rehearsal residencies, offering four to six hours per week from May 1 - June 8.  This variation on our regular FAR programming is in place to accomodate our Fieldwork Summer Intensive programming at The FAR Space.  No application fee is required for FAR-Light.

    "It has been such a gift to have six hours a week of free space to dedicate to my art. I hope this program continues into the future indefinitely."
