In Marrakesh, the Montresso Art Foundation has been committed since 2009 to the establishment and development of an artists' residency: Jardin Rouge. The residency program enables selected artists to develop a visual arts project by providing the technical, material and financial resources as well as a workplace. Open to visitors, by appointment, Jardin Rouge aims to build a factory of links and sharing. Events are organised both inside and outside the Foundation, with a wide range of cultural and artistic institutions, to provide artists with exhibition spaces in which to present their work and to raise their profile in Morocco and abroad. In agreement with the artist, a selection of works produced during the residency is offered for purchase.

  
The residency period is planned for a minimum duration of one month and a maximum of three months. The artist may be invited to return to continue his research on the basis of the initial project or in the development of new projects in agreement with the Foundation.

The Montresso Foundation ensures the financing of the production of the artistic project validated by the selection committee. Coverage for transport, individual accommodation, meals, all necessary equipment and the provision of an individual work workshop on the residence site are also guaranteed.

GSA announces an opportunity for a Federal art commission in conjunction with the new construction of a multi-story U.S. Courthouse Annex (New Annex) in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico (PR). The New Annex will be linked physically, functionally, and systematically with the Federico Degetau (Degetau) Federal Building and Clemente Ruiz Nazario (Nazario) U.S. Courthouse Complex (Complex). The New Annex will be located on the southwest corner of the 27-acre Federal Campus (Campus), adjoining both Degetau and Nazario.

  
The existing buildings, Degetau and Nazario, constructed in 1974, and comprising approximately 435,000 gross square feet, are situated on the Campus in Hato Rey, PR. The Campus also includes a standalone childcare center, parking structure, and law enforcement building. The Campus represents the largest facility under GSA’s jurisdiction, custody and control in the Caribbean. The Campus will remain operational throughout the construction.

  
The New Annex will be approximately 153,000 gross square feet and will include six (6) courtrooms and ten (10) judges’ chambers suites. The goal for the project is to design a universal plan that provides an equitable solution for all employees and visitors who will work or interact with the facility. The user experience (in the facility) will treat all groups with equity, dignity and respect. The facility will provide universal accessibility so that all people, including people with disabilities, can fully and independently use the entire facility. The design will connect with the community and local environment.

  
GSA allocates one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the estimated construction costs of new or modernized Federal facilities for art commissions. The art budget for the New Annex project is estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000\. GSA intends to award one (1) or more firm-fixed price AIA contracts for the project. If more than one (1) contract award, the budget will be divided among the contracts.

  
Artists who wish to be considered for this and all future GSA art commissions must submit application materials to GSA’s National Artist Registry (Registry). The Registry constitutes the qualified list of artists for this and all GSA commissions. Instructions on how to join the Registry are available on the following website: www.gsa.gov/artinarchitecture

The Kansas City, Missouri Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce a call for an experienced artist or an artist team to design and implement thematically related exterior, site-responsive sculptures or installations of original design for Brush Creek Cultural Heritage Trail. The artwork should actively engage visitors and enhance the natural beauty of the park.

This commission is open to U.S.-based professional artists who have a proven track record of creating and installing site-responsive, durable, and sustainable public art. Preference will be given to artists with experience working with community engagement, permitting processes and who have a body of work that demonstrates their ability to create site-responsive, durable and sustainable work.

The in-grade art should be designed to withstand the elements and be made of durable materials that require minimal maintenance to be incorporated into the pavement surface. The theme of the artwork shall be in line with the natural beauty and history of Brush Creek Cultural Heritage Trail.

A cultural heritage trail is a path or route linking significant items of an area’s heritage or history. The trail may include markers or signs explaining the cultural significance of the area, such as people, events, historic landmarks, or monuments. Cultural heritage trails can also include guided tours led by experts to provide more in-depth information and context about the cultural heritage of an area. They are also used to promote and preserve cultural heritage sites, and they are popular in many tourist destinations around the world.

The Brush Creek Cultural Heritage Trail is envisioned to be a series of interconnected nodes that tell the story of the American Civil Rights Movement and the Black experience in Kansas City. The completed project and programming are intended to draw visitors to the Cultural Heritage Corridor in Kansas City, Missouri from the metropolitan area, other states, and other countries for inspiration, reflection, and education. Artwork is a key component to convey this important historical record. Interpretive materials at the nodes will be designed and installed to facilitate the development of educational programming.

Kansas City, Missouri is proud to showcase the rich history of its Black community. As you travel through this corridor, the stories of the people, the events and the culture that built a strong African American community, you will learn the stories of those people who invested physically, emotionally, economically, politically, and socially in Kansas City.

**Naming and Branding**

It is envisioned that the name of the trail will be **Celebration Cultural Trail:** Exploring the History of Black Kansas City

**Mission Statement**

Celebration Cultural Trail exists to illuminate African American stories of Black Kansas City through education, contemplation, and reconciliation.

Each of the selected artists will receive a stipend of $2,000.00 for development of art design drawings and models.

  
**Budget**: $400,000

THE LARRY LEDERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY FELLOWSHIP

As Mizna’s twenty-fifth anniversary approaches, we are opening submissions for our Summer 2024 Issue, _Mizna_ 25.1\. Although this issue will be unthemed, the editorial team wishes to center and uplift our community in a time of rage and mourning, especially those Palestinian, Armenian, Afghan, Sudanese, Moroccan, and Libyan folks who are living through various forms of colonial, imperial, genocidal, and ecological catastrophe. We highly encourage submissions from those most affected by these disastrous situations. Furthermore, in a moment where solidarity with Palestine has been met with censorship, doxxing, cancellation of awards and events, and firing from professional positions, we continue to welcome writing from our anti-Zionist comrades as well as those who have been victims of aforementioned silencing. While we welcome submissions from former contributors seeking a space for their work in this urgent moment, **we also especially encourage submissions from writers who have never been published by us before**. 

_Mizna_ has long been a home for literature with innovative, experimental forms, as well as visual art that is published with high quality print production practices. As such, we especially encourage ongoing submissions from artists doing visual poetry work, or hybrid works that cross the arbitrary boundaries of genre. In general, literary works of poetry, visual poetry, fiction, flash fiction, nonfiction, creative nonfiction, comics, collage, invented forms, and any forms of mixed print or hybrid work will all be considered. 

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, though we ask to be notified as soon as possible if the submission is accepted elsewhere. There are no submission fees. Selected contributors receive a $200 honorarium, a 1-year subscription to Mizna, and 5 copies of the issue.

Call for Submissions: Mizna 25.1

Interplanetary Simulations, the first volume of Travesías Terremoto, is a research residency that brings together Latin American artistic and scientific practices to explore space conquest, planetary imagination and the possibilities of the cosmos in the face of a bleak future on Earth. The project consists of the exploration of the Sonoran desert—characterized by its exoplanetary landscape—to collectively reflect on utopian strategies of world creation, non-hegemonic futures and space exploration under an anti-patriarchal, anti-colonial and anti-racist gaze.

  
Five Latin American visual artists will have the opportunity to experience an exceptional immersion in the Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere, in close collaboration with a team of space scientists from the Agencia Espacial Mexicana and the Universidad Autónoma de México. The project seeks to think of the Sonoran desert as an exoplanetary scenario characterized by its star-shaped dunes, unusual flora and fauna, and giant craters, in order to collectively reflect on space exploration, world building, planetary imagination, and the possibilities of the cosmos in the face of a bleak future on this planet.

  
The Residency takes place March – April 8, 2024 and will be accompanied by a public program, an exhibition, a printed publication and a series of texts for our online platform.

  
**I. Analog mission -** Place: Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere, Two weeks, March- April 2024
