The November 7th volunteer work day in the college organic garden was a smashing success! Over twenty volunteers joined with Scott Abla, College Arborist, and Julian Sharp, Manager of Volunteer Work, to clear brush, remove invasive species, save and relocate trees, and winterize the grounds so that volunteers can grow fruits and vegetables this coming spring and summer. The garden has taken many forms over the past few decades, at times providing healthy food for parts of campus. Recently it has become overgrown due to a lack of upkeep, however, the soil is rich and provides the opportunity to grow various fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

Open Village/Open Space Artist Residency Program
Application Deadline: December 1, 2009
Applications will be accepted online beginning November 19, 2009

Purpose
Open Village/Open Space is an examination of how an artist’s work is shaped within a shared environment, addressing the intricacies of working in spaces whose use is simultaneously private and public. The Nonstop facility allows its members to flesh out concerns of freedom and constraint that occur when the public and private collide. The goal of the residency/exhibition is to provide both physical and conceptual workspaces that invite the artists to tackle these issues and the affect it has on the creation of their work.
General Information
The Open Village/Open Space Residency Program will be housed in the Office area of the Nonstop Institute of Yellow Springs Ohio at 305 North Walnut Street, Yellow Springs, Ohio. The residency will begin December 10, 2009. The floor plan and a brief video documenting the evolution of the space will be available on the website. Nonstop offers free studio space to eligible artists for a six-week period. The opening will coincide with the 1st Annual Nonstop Benefit gala. Artists also have access to the facilities on a 24-hour basis with wireless Internet access, and a shared meeting space. Other amenities include a viewing area for DVD, a shared Macintosh computer and a kitchen area with a microwave, refrigerator, water cooler and a coffee maker. Any special technical needs associated with the work should be described within the application.
Eligibility
Open Village/ Open Space Artist Residency project invites applications by artists working in the southwestern Ohio region and will consider proposals by artists working in all media and at any stage of their careers.
Selection Process
A panel of arts professionals and artists will review applications and select artists for the residency.
