Live in America Festival Residents

Artists from the Live in America Festival stay at La Nidada for ten to fourteen days. We do not accept residency applications from out-of-town artists who did not participate in the festival.

While these artists self-select their personal goals for their residency, they also engage with local creatives:

• Public lectures and artist-led workshops. Free-to-attend workshops and lectures address a wide range of artist-selected topics: establishing and nurturing careers, building networks, maintaining community connections, finding joy inside the work, and/or arts skill-building.
• Breaking bread together. Artists participate in two community dinners hosted at La Nidada. These smaller dinner gatherings are spaces for organic conversation, growing relationships, and dreaming of future collaborations.
• Sharing our stories. Residency artists also participate in Favela’s podcast.

 

Local Residencies

Local creatives live at La Nidada for three to four days in which the space offers a boost and respite from the artists’ established local practice. These residency stays are first offered to members of the CoOp.

• These creatives attend events hosted by La Nidada during their residency.
• They’ll participate in Live in Springdale programming–as audience members, artists, local producers, stage managers, etc.
• They attend dinners with out-of-town artists.
• They participate in Favela’s podcast.
