Artist Residencies + Social Practice
The Alliance of Artists Communities is conducting research on “Artist Residencies and Social Practice” to identify the needs of artists whose work uses social and community engagement practices. This Alliance’s goal is to better connect social practice artists with appropriate residency opportunities that fit their working practices. If you are an artist working in the field of social practice, please complete this quick survey. http://www.artistcommunities.org/social-practice-survey
The survey length is approximately 4 – 10 minutes. The deadline is May 17, 2015.

The boundaries between the performing and visual arts are more than blurred: "Performance art" on the stage and "installations" in a gallery. Using the residency model of a touring performing artist, VAN is a way for the visual artist to engage in community.
