Europe, Russia and Eurasia - ArtsLink Fellows - at U.S. arts organizations
for five-week residencies. We alternate the disciplines that we fund each
year, so please check below to determine when you should apply.

Please note: You do not need to have any contacts in the US to apply for
this program.

Eligible Countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia,
Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia,

ArtsLink Residencies are funded through public and private sources
including CEC ArtsLink, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Trust for
Mutual Understanding, the Ohio Arts Council, the Kettering Fund and the
Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation with additional support from the
Polish Cultural Institute and the Romanian Cultural Institute.

The ArtsLink Residencies program offers artists and arts managers a
five-week residency at an established, non-profit arts organization in the
U.S. For the 2008 Residencies Program, ArtsLink will accept applications
from artists and arts managers working in visual and media arts. Artists
and arts managers working in dance, music, theater and literature may
apply in November 2008 for the 2009 Residencies program.

Applicants do not need to have any contacts with organizations in the U.S.
ArtsLink will place successful applicants at a host organization.

ArtsLink Residencies provide artists and arts managers with a unique
experience relevant to their professional and creative goals. Residencies
incorporate the visiting professional into the host organization's
activities and provide interaction with local artists or organizations.

ArtsLink Residencies provide opportunities to:
* pursue artistic and/or professional collaborations that will enrich and
enhance your work
* establish mutually beneficial exchange of ideas and expertise with U.S.
artists and organizations and with colleagues from Central Europe, Russia
and Eurasia during ArtsLink Fellow meetings
* deepen your understanding of a particular artistic expression that is
related to your own work
* create new work that draws inspiration from interaction with artists and
arts professionals in the U.S.
* expand professional arts management skills through work with U.S.
organizations

The Residency includes two sessions in New York City for all ArtsLink
Fellows to meet with each other and with ArtsLink staff: one prior to the
residency to orient the Fellows to the residency program and one at the
conclusion to share residency experiences. The opening and closing
sessions offer an important opportunity for ArtsLink Fellows to interact
and strengthen contacts with colleagues in Central and Eastern Europe.

For the November 5, 2007 deadline, ArtsLink will accept Residencies
applications from contemporary and traditional creative artists working in
visual and media arts and from arts managers at independent, non-profit,
and government organizations working in these artistic disciplines.
Applicants must be citizens of, and reside in, an eligible country. There
are no age limitations. Applicants must have sufficient knowledge of
English to function independently while in the U.S.

Students, amateurs, and scholars are not eligible. Arts managers must be
affiliated with an arts organization in the non-commercial sector. Artists
seeking placement in commercial firms are also ineligible. ArtsLink
Fellows from prior years are ineligible.

All ArtsLink applications will be evaluated by an interdisciplinary review
panel comprised of U.S. arts professionals based on the following
criteria:
* Artistic or professional excellence of the applicants work
* Extent to which working in a U.S. arts organization is consistent with
the applicant�s artistic vision, creative goals, and professional
development
* Benefit to the applicant, at this time in his/her career, from
interaction with U.S. artists and audiences
* Quality and feasibility of mutually-beneficial exchange with the hosting
organization
* Applicant's plans for sharing the benefits of the exchange with artists
and institutions in his/her home country
* Applicant's ability to meet cross-cultural challenges successfully

The selection process is extremely competitive and applicants should
anticipate a highly rigorous review of their work. Applicants are advised
to submit quality work samples, e.g. slides, CDs, DVDs and videotapes.
Applicants should make sure their work is properly labeled, videotapes are
properly cued, and that all work samples are properly described on a
separate sheet. Applications that do not include required materials will
not be considered. All pages should have at least a 3cm bottom margin.

ArtsLink Fellows are expected to participate for a six-week period from
early October to mid November 2008. All applicants - both applicants from
Central Europe, Russia and Eurasia and U.S. host organizations - must be
able to accommodate this residency schedule.

Applicants who have been selected by the review panel are placed by
ArtsLink staff at arts organizations across the U.S. that can provide a
residency experience appropriate to each candidate's professional skills
and goals. Candidate's professional interests and contacts are carefully
evaluated to ensure the best available opportunity for each ArtsLink
Fellow.
