The In a Time of Change program is accepting applications for artist residencies for a new art-science collaboration project inspired by coastal research and lifeways in the Gulf of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ region. In "Coastal Transitions," In a Time of Change will collaborate with the Interface of Change project run by the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research. Interface of Change is a research, education and workforce development project funded by the National Science Foundation. It focuses on the socio-ecological health of coastal communities and key marine harvest species within the Gulf of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ's glacially influenced coastal environments.
