Announcing our new Artist-in-Residence Program!!!

Central Christian Church is pleased to announce the formation of it's first Artist-in-Residency program. At Central Christian Church, our vision is to be a place where creativity is fostered, practiced and celebrated and this a first step in making this vision come alive. This pilot program which runs from May 1st to November 30th, 2017 is open to artists of various mediums from the greater Danbury area who are 30 years of age and younger and are interested in the intersection of their art, their self-defined spirituality and the world in which we live.

What is Included?
Each artist-in-residence will receive the following:

• $200 stipend
• Free rehearsal/workspace (depending on the particular artists medium)
• Opportunities to present work. This will include two arts-focused Sunday worship services as well as evening presentations as designed by the group.
• Being included in an artist-in-residence support group. Older artists will sit down with the group over a meal in order to discuss their work, their process, their struggles and their inspiration. The goal is to create a support system that will last beyond the residency.

How to Apply​
Artists may apply through our website until March 31st. Each applicant will be asked to submit the following:

• Essay: in no more than 500 words write a description of your work, what inspires your work, and why you would like to be in this program.
