Residencies at Centrum offer the opportunity for reflection and intensive creative work. The program aims to create an environment where ideas, music, poetry, art and more can be developed, tried out and eventually disseminated. It also intends to encourage and affect thinking about the place of artists, creative thinkers and culture in specific communities and in the society at large. Centrum residencies can take many forms. Residencies can involve either the solitary creative work of an individual or the interactive work of a group, in a single genre or in several.
Residencies can vary in length from one week to two months.
They can have specific purposes or can be open-ended without specific expectations. A residency can involve active engagement with Centrum programs, other artists, the Park or the town, or it can serve as a reflective retreat. We encourage some outreach activity, but do not require it. You will choose the nature of your residency, and there is some flexibility in scheduling time and length of stay. This panel will allocate many of the available resources.
