Overview
The Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center provides a platform for developing new ideas and solutions to some of the most difficult global problems.
Residencies allow for disciplined work and collaborative action on these issues, uninterrupted by the usual professional and personal demands. Residency participants include scholars, scientists, artists, journalists, writers, non-governmental organization practitioners and policymakers from around the world. Rockefeller Foundation welcomes projects in all fields, but they are particularly interested in innovative projects that address one or more of their issue areas: basic survival safeguards, global health, climate and environment, urbanization, social and economic security.
Collegial interaction with the other residents is an integral dimension of the Bellagio experience. Meals and informal presentations of residents' work afford an opportunity for dynamic discussion and engagement with each other. During special dinners, residents may be able to interact with participants in international conferences hosted in various buildings on the Center's property.
The Center also offers collaborative residencies for two to four persons working on the same project. Creative artists in all fields and scholars in all disciplines from any country are welcome to apply. A residency is typically four weeks in length.
Length of Stay
Residencies are typically four weeks in length, but applicants may request a shorter period by submitting a statement that describes why an alternate length of time is requested.
Accommodations and Travel Assistance
Residents are housed in two main buildings and each resident is given a private room with bath and a study/studio, either adjoining the bedroom or on the grounds. High-speed Internet access is available free of charge in all bedrooms and most studies. There is a small library that includes basic reference books and online research tools; the works of many former residents and those resulting from Bellagio meetings are also available. The visual artist studio is quite small, and not suited for large works or installations. There is no kiln or darkroom at the Center. Accommodations are not available for children or other family members, except spouses/life partners, nor for friends or pets.
Room and board are provided to all residents and their spouses/partners, but they are responsible for their airfare and local transportation to and from Bellagio. However, the Foundation does have a limited travel assistance program, based on income level of invited residents.
Several resident suites are available for those with restricted mobility, and several of the buildings now include an elevator. Nonetheless, prospective applicants should be aware that the hillside setting of the facility and the surrounding area restricts the mobility of persons who have difficulty walking or climbing stairs.
The Center is not equipped to provide medical services or assisted care. The nearest major hospital is in Lecco, a 40-minute drive away.
Eligible Candidates
The Foundation seeks applications from outstanding creative artists at all career stages with a record of significant achievement in their field. Video/filmmakers, novelists, playwrights, poets, visual artists, and artists in performance art and multimedia from any country are welcome to apply. Preference is given to applicants from developing countries. Projects in all fields are welcome, but there is particular interest in innovative projects that address one or more of the Rockefeller Foundation’s five interconnected issue areas: basic survival safeguards, global health, climate and environment, urbanization, social and economic security.
The deadline for the current competition is May 7, 2010 for residencies between March 1, 2011 and July 31, 2011. For more information please visit: www.rockefellerfoundation.org
