Side Street Projects is requesting proposals for our upcoming 2024-’25 Artist Residency titled, Possibility Prances: A place for matters to rest. This residency is offered to artists or collectives interested in developing an interactive, community-engaged art project with a Trauma-Informed Care approach. The residency will take place between November 2024 and June 2025 based on the availability of applicants.

The Possibility Prances: A place for matters to rest residency is available for artists interested in developing socially engaged projects in connection to the communities Side Street Projects serves. Projects should aim to honor process over product and make space for regeneration, deep listening, and peer-to-peer mentorship.

Previous artists have used this opportunity as an incubation space for a larger project, as some projects continue beyond the scope of this residency’s timeline.

This project is funded by the Pasadena Community Foundation and is intended to serve folks who reside in or have a meaningful connection to the City of Pasadena and Altadena. Side Street Projects maintains a range of community partners who can potentially inform and collaborate with the projects. We honor our relationships and partners as precious resources. We recognize that resource abundance is also connected to the strength and care of our relationships.

If you have questions or need support with the application process, reach out to opencall@sidestreet.org or call (626) 798-7774.
