2016 NEW MEDIA GALLERY PROGRAMArtist Residency Application & Guidelines

JACK STRAW CULTURAL CENTER is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to the creation, production, and presentation of all forms of audio art. Jack Straw has been a community resource since founding KRAB-FM in 1962, and now serves as the Northwest’s only non-profit audio recording and production facility, dedicated to assisting in the creation of new works by artists in all disciplines who use sound in their work. Jack Straw also offers a wide range of audio-based educational programs for all ages, arts/heritage partnership projects, and public events such as gallery exhibits, workshops, performances, artist talks, readings, radio programs, podcasts, and audio production and recording services.JACK STRAW ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAMSOur artist residency programs offer established and emerging artists in diverse disciplines an opportunity to explore the creative use of sound in a professional atmosphere through residencies in our recording studios, training, and participation in our various presentation programs. Artists may apply to only one program per year. Note: The Writers Program, Artist Support Program, and New Media Gallery Programs have separate applications. You can download those forms at our web site: www.jackstraw.org. NEW MEDIA GALLERY PROGRAMThe Jack Straw New Media Gallery is a unique venue in Seattle where artists from various disciplines can present works in which sound is an integral or exclusive element. This program enables artists to experiment with audio and to develop new skills and ideas in a supportive setting. Up to four artists/teams are selected to receive up to 20 hours of free studio time with an engineer, which they may use to realize the sound component of their project, and to exhibit their completed project in our gallery in the following year. Up to two additional proposals may be selected for exhibition in our new front gallery space, adjacent to the New Media Gallery. Gallery exhibitions include an opening reception, artist talk/workshop, podcast/interview posted on our web site, and other events. Additional family engagement programs may be developed with select installations.See a list of past artists and exhibitions at jackstraw.org/programs/mediagallery/about.shtml ARTIST SUPPORT PROGRAMUp to eight artists/teams are awarded 20 hours of free recording and production time with an engineer at Jack Straw Cultural Center; an additional 10-12 artists/teams receive matching awards. The Artist Support Program is open to artists of all disciplines whose project proposals include sound as a major component. Such projects might include recording a music CD, producing radio programs, oral histories, audio literature, sound for a gallery installation or public art project, film, performance, digital media work, etc. Completed projects are publicly presented at a Jack Straw artist event. See a list of past artists and projects at jackstraw.org/programs/asp/ASP_artist_list.shtml WRITERS PROGRAMTwelve writers create new work during the residency to be presented through live readings, recorded interviews, a published anthology, and as podcasts on our web site. Participants also receive professional training in voice and microphone technique, performance and delivery, and studio
