Wave Farm welcomes proposals from artists, researchers, and tinkerers for up to 6 open call research and production opportunities in 2027. The transmission art residency supports the development of new transmission artwork. The spatial sound residency specifically supports the development of transmission artwork for a spatial sound environment. The fellowship program offers two different tracks: research and community engagement. All residents and fellows will have the opportunity to engage with Wave Farm Radio: WGXC 90.7-FM.

Residencies: Transmission Art + Spatial Sound

During a 10-day residency at Wave Farm, the artist-in-residence will develop a new transmission artwork or a new spatial sound project within the genre of transmission art, informed by access to a research library, equipment, unique workspace resources, and on-site staff support. A stipend of $1,000 will be provided to the artist.

Radio Art Fellowship: Research + Community Engagement

During a 2-month engagement, the fellow will research and select radio artworks by historical and contemporary artists to add to Wave Farm’s Broadcast Radio Art Archive or develop and conduct a public workshop that critically engages the technology and conceptual specificities of radio. The fellowship will commence with a 10-day visit to Wave Farm, where the Fellow will have full access to Wave Farm’s research libraries and resources. The rest of the fellowship will take place remotely. Fellowship Mentors will be available for consultation, leads, and feedback. A stipend of $2,000 will be provided to the fellow.
