Call for Submissions:
White Rabbit Open Air Arts is now accepting submissions.

White Rabbit is a week-long artist residency in which emerging and established artists live, work, and collaborate in community. The residency culminates in a public celebration, performance and exhibition of individual and collaborative works that have emerged over the course of the week.

When: August 11th - 18th , 2013.
Where: Upper Economy, Nova Scotia.

White Rabbit Open Air Arts Project is an immersive outdoor experience. The residency encourages artists from a broad range of disciplines to push the boundaries of their practice collaboratively and individually in response to the unique landscape. Red Clay is a land of organic gardens, meadows, ponds and forests looking out over the extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy. During the week,  two senior mentors will guide resident artists through workshops, presentations and one-on-one engagement. 2013 mentoring artists will be:

The cost for participants is $285 and covers 8 days including workshops and presentations by senior artists, field trips, and use of site facilities, all meals and accommodation (camping or lofts). White Rabbit seeks to achieve culinary excellence: food is locally-sourced and prepared by qualified chefs.
