Located just four miles from the east coast beaches of central Florida, the pine and palmetto wooded environment contains award-winning studios that include a resource library, painting studio, sculpture studio, music studio, dance studio, black box theater, writers’ studio, and digital computer lab. Each residency session includes three master artists of different disciplines. The master artists each personally select a group of associates – talented, emerging and midcareer artists – through an application process administered by ACA. During the residency, artists participate in informal sessions with their group, collaborate on projects, and work independently on their own projects. The relaxed atmosphere and unstructured program provide considerable time for artistic regeneration and creation. Atlantic Center for the Arts provides housing (private room/bath with work desk), weekday meals (provided by ACA chef) and 24 hour access to shared studio space. Financial Aid is available to qualified applicants. For more information on how to apply, please telephone (386) 427-6975 or (800) 393-6975 (domestic US only) or visit http://www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org or email us at program@atlanticcenterforthearts.org • All applications must be postmarked by the application deadline date. • Atlantic Center for the Arts is pleased to announce, through the generous support of the Joan Mitchell Foundation, all painters and sculptors accepted into the 2009 Master Artists-in-Residence Program who demonstrate need will be recommended to receive full financial aid to attend the residency program. Artists from other disciplines may apply to ACA’s Financial Aid program.
