Fågelbo Residency

is a collaborative residency, which aims to elevate as well as educate the interdisciplinary performance art field of south Florida. It offers a much needed experimental program platform for an underserved art field, through an original residency opportunity. Collaborating artist teams will consist of a visual artist and a performing artist, applying together with a project proposal.

The residency is hosted by FATVillage Projects, giving selected artists space to work, time for research and a platform for exhibiting and performance opportunities.

Funding for this project is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council

as well as the following Funds of the Community Foundation of Broward:

Fonda and H. Wayne Huizenga, Jr. Family Trust Fund, Gary J. Scotto Fund and Mary and Alex Mackenzie Community Impact Fund
