The Digital Matrix Commissions Program invites artists to create work in digital and new-media forms. Chosen artists will receive an honorarium for completing a nine-month commission, that will be featured on our website www.bronxarts.org. For more information on next commissions cycle please contact us at longwoodarts@bronxarts.org.  

Previous commissions have explored “immigration/migration” as it relates to survival, resistance, and gentrification. How do artists respond to it? How do these issues affect community? How can the internet or web-based technology be used to address these concerns?

We encourage projects that present a South Bronx context. All projects must feature
internet-based interactivity.

DEADLINE: To be announced  .

ELIGIBILITY: Open artists working in both traditional and digital media. Artists of color and women, and Bronx artists are especially encouraged to apply.

NOT ELIGIBLE: Previous recipients of the Longwood Cyber Residency or Digital Matrix Commissions, full-time graduate or undergraduate students enrolled in any degree program during the residency period, and recipients of any 2008 Bronx Council on the Arts’ awards: Bronx Recognizes Its Own (BRIO), Bronx Writers’ Center Fellowship, or Chapter One Fiction Award.

Please contact us for more information at longwoodarts@bronxarts.org.

Application will be available soon.
