The Australia Council for the Arts is offering a $20,000 grant for a collaborative artist
residency in the 3-D online virtual world of Second Life.

The Australia Council residency will enable a team of up to three artists, including a
writer, musician/sound artist and digital visual media practitioner to collaborate on the
development of inter-disciplinary artwork in Second Life. 

The project, which will take place online, will require the artists to explore the
possibilities of literary, music/sound art and real time 3-D arts practices within the
virtual realm. The successful team will ultimately develop new, experimental artistic
practices and observations on the social and cultural layers that have evolved in Second
Life.

The residency is open to Australian citizens and permanent residents. Applications close
on the 27 July 2007. For more information visit www.ozco.gov.au/rez
