AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Emerging Musicians & Writers: Applications Due September 15

Since it's opening May 2010, The Hill House Residency has provided eight artists the time and space to dedicate to their craft. The Hill House works to support two fields: emerging songwriters and writers at all stages of their career. Emerging musician Marcus Sigh reflected on the Hill House Residency as if he and partner Melissa Sigh were painters who had canvases and brushes at home, but were missing red and yellow paint (space and time). "ISLAND and the Hill House gave us these, our red and our yellow."

A new album was released for artist berekekê: O último tucumaré (The last tucumaré) is other vision about the brazilian music and culture.

As other works, berekekê hold his personal style with classicals instruments but ethnics too.

O último tucumaré is avaialble in https://berekekeartist.jimdo.com/

ARMIN Rohde is breathless. Not from his fencing lesson -- preparation for a stage performance of Cyrano de Bergerac -- but out of anger.

"What is happening to our cultural landscape?" fumes the 55-year-old, one of Germany's best-known character actors.

"Europe was different . . . exactly because we had theatres in every town, the best art collections, a sense of history and performance. And now what? We're shutting it all down to save the equivalent of a kid's pocket money!"

Videos that reflect the various ethnic groups living in Russia can be entered to a competition called "Multinational Russia." Deadline: August 10.

Videos can focus on a range of themes, including modernity, travel, ethnic groups and more.

The selection committee will select three winners who will receive cash prizes.
