「オープン・インターバル」オープンコール：アーティストと科学者のコラボレーションを募集

The Simons Foundation’s Open Interval initiative is an annual grant program that supports interdisciplinary collaboration between artists, scientists, and arts organizations. The program awards a $30,000 grant to 15 trios—each consisting of one artist, one scientist, and one arts organization—who commit to a nine‑month period of experimentation and dialogue around the theme of turbulence. Participants are required to attend a four‑day in‑person collaboration weekend in upstate New York (May 23‑26, 2027). The grant covers a portion of the artist’s time and allows for additional funding to produce artworks after the collaboration period. Applications are open to U.S.‑based arts organizations; artists must be non‑students, and scientists must hold a Ph.D. Applicants must reside in the U.S. for the duration of the program. The application process begins with a curator or producer from the arts organization submitting a statement of interest, followed by individual statements and work samples from the artist and scientist. The deadline for the 2027 cohort is October 21, 2026.
