[2017 was] "The Year Climate Change Began to Spin Out of Control" (MIT Technology Review)

ArtCenter SOUTH FLORIDA is offering a one-year Miami residency with free housing, a $25,000 stipend, and "$7,500 in production funds" from April 1, 2018 – April 1, 2019 to help develop a 500 million dollar climate change "resiliency plan that incorporates the voices of residents and experts [that] will prepare the city to survive, adapt and grow as it faces a warming climate [ . . .]." Issues include "coastal flooding to affordable housing and public transit."  The residency is "based on the premise that art can drive social and political innovation." ArtCenter SOUTH FLORIDA is seeking "candidates who can connect their artistic practice to other fields of knowledge, like architecture, science, public policy and urban planning, in order to create new models for public action."  The deadline is January 22, 2018, 11:59PM  with notification on February 14, 2018.   The announcement noted "results of the residency could have far-reaching impacts, as the work will be shared with other cities around the world facing similar challenges."
