Musicians now resident in Georgia, Armenia or Turkey
Based in Georgia from July 10-31, 2023, participants in the Sound Bridge project will convene in the mountains of Svaneti, Georgia, for a two and a half-week residency, during which they will collaboratively create new musical works, producing an album of recorded material and several short videos. Following this residency, the group will travel to Tbilisi to share some of the work they have created. The goal of Sound Bridge is to build camaraderie between musicians who are interested in community engagement and connect people across the region through artistic collaboration.
Musicians can apply to Sound Bridge through a free application, which will be open from March 1 - March 24, 2023. The application is open to musicians ages 20 - 40 years old, who are residents of Armenia, Georgia, or Türkiye. Working proficiency in the English language is required. Applications are due by March 24, 2023 at 2:59 pm EST (11:59 pm in Armenia & Georgia, 10:59 pm in Türkiye). Selected Fellows will receive a $1,500 USD honorarium, and be eligible for a small seed grant for post-program collaborative work.
