Artists Residency Program
Since 1999, the ESS Artists Residency Program has facilitated the creation of 33 new works involving the exploration of sound. Audio art, experimental music, installation, cinema, performing arts, and radio art have all been represented in the roster of former ARP recipients.
Experimental Sound Studio (ESS) will offer four 30- to 40-hour residencies through the 2007 Artists Residency Program (ARP). At least three of these residencies are for Chicago area artists, and, for the first time, one residency will be open to non-Chicago US artists. Each residency includes access to the ESS recording facilities with engineering assistance.

Crosscut
Links Hall and Experimental Sound Studio (ESS) join their energies in a collaborative effort to precipitate new collaborations between Chicago-based sound artists and Chicago-based movement artists. Collaborative proposals will be invited, from which three pairs of newly collaborating artistic partners will be selected for support with a monetary grant of $5,000 per pair.
At the core of this idea is the development of artists and art. Links and ESS will work together on programmatic ideas, seek funding sources, and to carry out the program making use of available resources of both organizations. Seed money from the Weasel Fund is in place to cover all of the first year’s program costs, and partial funding for two subsequent years. Links Hall and ESS will continue to raise money for and awareness of CROSSCUT, with plans to sustain the program across an initial three-year trial period.
