Join us to learn more about the COPENHAUSTIN open call.
CopenhAustin is an annual arts residency exchange program of one queer performance artist/organizer from Texas and one queer performance artist/organizer from Denmark. The purpose of this residency program is to support artistic development, facilitate cultural exchange, and encourage environmental sustainability practices in the larger arts community. A unique dimension of the call is a commitment to the intersection of LGBTQIA+ issues and environmental sustainability practices.
There will be time to ask questions related to the application and time for you at the end to begin planning and writing your application.
We’ll break down what the residency opportunity is, who it’s for, and how to submit an application.
This info session will take place in person.
