Information and application for the 2014 KBOO Artist in Residence Program
KBOO Community Radio Artist In Residence Program for 2014

                   

The KBOO Community Radio Artist In Residence Program assists artists working creatively with sound. Every year, one artist or one collaborative group of artists will be awarded twenty hours of studio recording and production time with a KBOO Mixologist in order to create a piece of sound art that will be publically presented at the end of the Residency.


The Artist in Residence Program is open to artists of all disciplines whose project proposals include sound as a major component.


The goals of the KBOO Artist Support Program are to support and invest in individuals who are pushing themselves artistically using sound, whose work will impact the cultural landscape of Portland, and to bring those artists into the dynamic KBOO community of local, national, and international artists and activists.

           

Artist in Residence Program Eligibility

               

The KBOO Artists in Residence program is open to non-student artists residing in the the Portland Metro Area of any age, discipline, or background.


Current KBOO Community Radio staff, interns, board members, or their immediate family members may not apply. Artists who have previously participated in the Artist Support Program must wait 2 years before being eligible to apply again.

               

Artist in Residence Program Selection Criteria

               

Panelists will base their selections upon artistic need for resources and support,  the artistic merit of the proposed project; the feasibility of the proposed project; the quality of the work represented in the work samples provided by the applicant; the readiness to engage with the KBOO Community; and the response of the panelists to the applicant’s proposal/work in comparison to the other submissions received.


Artist in Residence Program Selection Process

               

KBOO Staff will review proposals to determine eligibility and clarity of application


A three person panel will review and rate proposals according to review criteria. Panels will be made up of a cross section of the arts community who have experience with KBOO, or are sound artists of some kind. Panel reviews will not be open to the public.
